Amazing conference. It will be tough to beat.

Excellent content! Good food for thought!
Matt Ruma, President, Creative Logic
Great variety of topics. There were many moments where I felt validated or was shown our company's flaws. I'm not a developer but it was the right level of 'technical'!

Scott Lawrence, Software Development Manager, APS Healthcare Inc
The combination of small, intimate size and a diverse list of speakers made this the most valuable and provoking conference I've been to in a long time. It's a significant achievement that from every speaker I've come away with either something quite profound to consider or something concrete to do.
