Audience Topics Location Networking Testimonials

"All of the presentations I attended were great.  Very informative and the presenters showed a lot of expertise in their presentations.  Networking events were also very well done!"- Lynden Headley, Human Kinetics

"My favorite part is this is not a sales pitch, like other conferences I have attended.  Most presenters are actual developers, working in the field  - I felt the classes were geared more towards me as a result!" - Jon Plater, Kantar Retail
