It's our party, and we'll cry.. if you don't come!

ActiveRain is turning 5 this June, and we want to celebrate!

Since birthday's only come around once a year (and a 5 year milestone only happens once ever!) we've decided to make our birthday bash a 3-day long event.  We'll be holding the party June 20th-22nd here in our hometown of Seattle - and you're all invited!

It's going to be the can't miss event of the year.  So drive, fly, hitchhike, teleport - get over here anyway you can - because we want you with us for all the festivities!

Here's our birthday extravaganza details:

Monday, June 20th: RainCamp Seattle, Day 1!  Yep, we're kicking things off with a RainCamp; and not just any old RainCamp either.  We're taking our new 2-day Camp format and filling it up with more keynote speakers, more networking activities and more transforming knowledge to help your business grow.  Camp that day will be followed by a networking happy hour where we can all unwind a bit (it is a celebration after all!).

Tuesday, June 21st: RainCamp Seattle, Day 2.  The day will include live blog coaching from AR's Community Evangelist Bob Stewart, and working closely in small groups with Community Builder Kerrie Greenhalgh, select AR Ambassadors and more!  It's a day dedicated to working with you, our members.

Then later that night after camp... we're throwing our birthday party!  We'll be dancing, drinking and living it up at the Hard Rock Cafe Seattle down in the city's famous Pike Place Market from 8-11pm.  We've rented out their top floor and will be providing a light spread of nibbles.  Everyone's invited!  Even if you can't join us for Camp, come stop by.  We only turn 5 once, and it's going to be one party you don't want to miss!

Wednesday, June 22nd:  Family BBQ!  We're opening up our home office and inviting you all over.  Come see "where the magic happens" at ActiveRain and meet the staff!  We'll be hosting a BBQ lunch and grilling in our outdoor office courtyard.  Drop in, grab a burger and come say hi!

Tickets for RainCamp Seattle are now on sale!  We have two ticket options to choose from:

Platinum ticket - Gets you express check-in, front row tabled seating both days of Camp, wifi and power for your laptop, and a catered lunch Day 1 of Camp.  Just $139!

Gold donation-based ticket - Gets you a tabled seat both days of Camp and wifi access.  Suggested donation is $79, but pay what you can!  We encourage you to put the price on your seat.

RainCamp Seattle will be a ticketed event, but our birthday party and family bbq are open to all and free to attend.  So please join us when you can.  Come 1 day, 2 days, or even better, all 3!

There's no better way we could think of celebrating this special event than with all of you Rainers!  We hope you all can visit us in the Emerald City for our birthday and help us ring in the last 5 years of this awesome community.

We'll see you in June!
