The past four years, I have had the privileged to work with Lee Brandt and Jonathan Mills organizing a conference geared towards IT. I feel that this is one way for me to give back to the IT community that have given me not only knowledge to be where I am today, but also plenty of friends for life.
Kansas City Developer Conference aka KCDC was the idea and creation of Lee Brandt. I remember meeting Lee at the conference. Lee gave me the opportunity to work with him on the second KCDC. That conference as attended by over 100 IT people. And the event has grown each year. Last year, we had a little over 300 IT folks and the topics grew as well. The speakers that presented at the conference were from Iowa, New York, Cincinnati, Michigan, Virginia, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska.
I am super excited about the conference this year (much more so than past years). This year we are excited to present a bigger and better conference. KCDC 2013 will be held at Bartle Hall in downtown Kansas City. It will be a three-day multi-track conference. It will cover all aspects of software development, agile project management and soft skills.
We are a non-profit organization. We rely on sponsors to make the conference a successful one. We have a lot of support from companies in the local area. For that, we thank you.
I look forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones.
