From the Inside November/December 2013
Happy Holidays to all!
It's the end of the year, time to relax, enjoy family, give gifts, and time to start planning for the year 2014.
Now that 2014 is just around the corner, it time for me to start talking about what is coming up. International Spectrum 2014 will be in Phoenix on April 7th-10th, 2014. That is less than five months away.
Have you taken a look at the conference details yet? If not, please do. You'll find a few program changes. This year we created tracks of talks that take users and developers from "Start-to-Finish" in how to implement or use some of the new technologies.
Here is how it works. In the past, we've had a lot of different sessions, covering a lot of different topics. It was up to our attendees to decide what would work best for them and what they needed to learn.
The "Start-to-Finish" topics will help attendees focus on one topic, like Desktop Development or Mobile Development, and take them from the planning stages, through developing the user interfaces, and on to how to actually connect the interfaces to the database. We will even work with attendees on how to develop the database side of things as well.
That is not all. Once you have gone through the difference steps needed to build your solutions from Start-to-Finish, we are providing you time and access to experienced developer to help you put all that you learned to use.
We have our "Professional Networking" passes as well. I have always been a big fan of professional networking and have always found talking with other attendees just as valuable as the materials that speakers provide.
With that in mind, we will be offering many opportunities to talk with your fellow attendees, both at the conference and after the conference.
Since we know there is a lot of material presented at the conference, and attendees don't always get a chance to see all of it, we will be providing access to recordings of the sessions and access to session downloads. This allow conference attendees to review material for sessions they attended, or just review the sessions they missed.
As in previous years, we will be providing the "Group/Company Pass". The "Group Pass" allows up to 5 people from the same organization to attend the conference for an average of $400 a person. Since the "Group Pass" gives you access to the full week, you can have company employees attend a few days, and then send another group of people for another few days. This way you don't have your whole IT department gone, and you still get the advantage of educating as many as you can.
There will be a webinar on Jan 24th that will talk more about what is going on at the conference this year and provide you some information to help you discuss the advantages and reasons for joining us at the conference.
