DevTeach Is Upon Us!

Nov 8

Well it is getting really close to that time of year again. I am talking about one of the greatest conferences ever…. DevTeach!

Some of the great things about DevTeach:

  1. Great size. There are enough people to make it a big conference but still small enough that you meet a lot of people
  2. Great speakers. I have been to DevTeach as an attendee three times now and I can not think of one talk that was disappointing
  3. Great tracks. Every year there are some great standard tracks like agile, architecture, web, .net, sql. There is also some specialized tracks that change from conference to conference. This time there is a life cycle and silverlight track.
  4. Too many choices. The problem I have at DevTeach is that I am usually torn between talks. While it is hard to choose it is great to see so much good content
  5. It is in Montreal! This is one of my favourite cities in the world. Great food, friendly people, lots to do, and lots of great pubs/clubs/and bars (a staple of any conference)
  6. Great swag for filling out evaluations
  7. Every attendee will get Visual Studio 2008 Pro, Expression Web 2 and Tech-Ed DEV set in their bag
  8. People. This is my favourite part of conferences is meeting new people and conversing about what they are doing. There are so many great people both speaking and attending that great conversations are bound to happen.
  9. Multinational. I like how DevTeach is a nice mix of speakers and attendees from Canada, the United States, and many other countries too. There are also some talks in French which I think is great to see!
  10. Flight and hotel discounts. You can get 10% off flying with Westjet and there is also a hotel discount.

This is one of those conferences that since I started going that I would not want to miss. I hope to see you there!
