Twitter as scheduled its first annual mobile developer conference. Called Twitter Flight, the event takes place in San Francisco and the cost per delegate is just $140.

Flight is described as "a gathering built by developers, for developers". It is for Android and iOS developers as indicated by the claim:

"You’ll be right at home if you live, breathe and occasionally dream in Java, Objective-C, or Swift."

The agenda for the one-day event, being held at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in the heart of San Francisco, lists a keynote by Twitter CEO Dick Costolo followed by technical sessions until 5:00pm. Then comes Happy Hour (5pm to 8pm) when delegates can "mingle with the Twitter team over food, drinks, games and music".

Although it costs $140, Twitter Flight is an invite-only event and there's a form to fill in - asking among other things for a link to your GitHub account and links to apps you have worked on in the iOS App Store and/or Google Play - in order to receive an invitation to register.

This seems a reasonable method to ensure that the event is attended by its target audience.
