37signals Masterclass: How We Work David Oct 13 2010

19 comments Latest by Paco Merh

After a long hiatus from doing workshops, we’re ready to get back in action with the 37signals Masterclass: How We Work. It’s a full day’s worth of insights and demonstrations of how we design and develop products presented by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson, and Ryan Singer.

We’re doing the masterclass at our new office and will be capping the class size at 37 people. There’ll be lots of time for direct consulting on your own issues. Whether it relates to business, design, or technology.

The class will take place on November 19th, 2010 and the price is $1,000. We’re accepting signups now. Past workshops have sold out quickly, so you might want to hurry to secure a seat.

We’re wondering if this is going to be repeat of a lot of the videos you guys have posted recently, specifically: http://vimeo.com/15772341 . Could you comment on the differences? Pluses / Minuses of each?

Michael 13 Oct 10

Answering our project-specific questions? Very nice.

$1000 bucks is pretty steep, but could be worth it. Any idea how much time one can expect discussing our own application?

Brandon S. 14 Oct 10

Yes. They have a schedule at the sign up page: http://37signals.eventbrite.com/

@Mike – good point.

Gregor 14 Oct 10

While I agree with Christopher that the 37siglnals Masterclass could be worth $ 1,000, the number feels to me like randomly chosen.

When I remember it right from your books, you price your tools so that it feels right. At least for the classes, I can’t say that it does that for me. Could you give some insights on the pricing decision?

Sean 14 Oct 10

Given the speaking fees commanded by bestselling authors, the usual price tag on seminars like these, and the consulting fees that the “authors of Rework” could command…I’d say we’re getting them cheap.

Michael Sliwinski 14 Oct 10

I agree with Sean.

Jason, David and Ryan – thanks for this opportunity!

Thanks so much that… I’m actually coming… my company is based in Poland, Central Europe, but I currently live in Spain and I’m flying across the pond to Chicago to get to know you in person and to participate in this event.

Just bought the ticket for the event, now I’m booking my plane and hotel. For $1G it’s an incredible incentive to go fly and get to know you and see your new office. See you soon!

Thanks to everyone who’s signed up so far. Less than 10 seats left!

Don Schenck 14 Oct 10

Grrr … I’m in a Catch-22. Don’t have the funds to attend, need to get my site up to snuff to get more funds.

Oh well … guess I’ll just have to “gut it out”. In the end, that’s for the best.

Pete 14 Oct 10

No way I’m going to spend $1000 for 1 day. Not worth it to me. I would pay up to $400

Hilarious on the sign-up page with the beautiful girl staring at the camera. Just a coincidence?

Scott 14 Oct 10

You should throw in some Field Notes, “37” edition.

Bryan Sebastian 14 Oct 10

There are some interesting observations on the price for this workshop. However, if you follow simple economics the value of something is what someone is willing to pay for it.

If 37s can get 37 people to sign up for this workshop within 2 days… Well, I would say the pricing is about right (maybe even low). If they had less than 10 people sign up for the event, then I would say the pricing is too high.

Personally, I would bet there are companies that would pay $5,000 a day to have these 3 people come in and help them out. I could be wrong, but that is my hunch. So, I am gladly paying the cost to attend this workshop. In the end I think the information and inspiration that could be gained in this single day is well worth the price.

Darren 14 Oct 10

Damn, too slow. Is there a way to get notified of cancellations?

Rich Rund 15 Oct 10

I BLEW IT !!!! I saw the registration post this afternoon – said to myself “Oh, I think I’ll register for that tonight, after I put the kids down…”

Please add me to the waiting list (if there is one). I was really hoping to see the Oompa-Lumpas!

CJB 18 Oct 10

You guys are pimps!!! Seriously, what else are you going to come up with, and DHH you’re still Copenhagen’s 2nd most popular entity right now, #1 is located here on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/15156854.

Paco Merh 18 Oct 10

I would totally spend it if I had it. These guys advice is always realistic. btw, http://imgur.com/AdtL9.jpg
