Canadian mobile phone maker Research In Motion has just announced that it opened up registrations for the BlackBerry DEVCON Americas conference, set to be held at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis in San Francisco, California between October 18-20, 2011.

The handset vendor notes that the move marks the company's commitment to provide developers from across North America and Latin America with a great experience at the event.

“In fact, we have re-opened the BlackBerry DEVCON Americas Call For Papers for developers in Latin America until May 30th; we are looking to have sessions presented in Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese,” the company notes in a recent blog post.

BlackBerry DEVCON Americas comes with $699 USD Early Bird registration - $599 USD for their qualifying 2010 event alumni.

“This is our best registration offer ever (35% less than last year!) and represents incredible value to attendees. Also, this deal can be combined this with a special early-bird 4th-night-free offer for even more savings,” the leading handset vendor continues.

The Early Bird offer would end on June 24th, and those developers interested in benefiting from it should hurry up and register.

The mobile phone maker also announced that students and faculty would benefit from special registration prices too, namely $199 USD and $399 USD, respectively.

“All prices are subject to applicable taxes; please see the applicable terms and conditions,” the company continues.

In addition to announcing the opening of registration for the BlackBerry DEVCON Americas conference, RIM announced the launch of the first ever BlackBerry DEVCON Europe, along with a second edition of BlackBerry DEVCON Asia.
