What's New in 2011?
SCNA offers a wide variety of opportunities for veteran craftsmen and journeymen alike.
Opportunities To Connect
Whether celebrating at our opening night reception or sharing an impromptu breakfast with colleagues before the keynote presentation, there will be lots of opportunities for you to meet new people, share ideas, and network with like-minded professionals from all over the world. Part of the reason you attend is to share experiences with peers and colleagues, and we’re excited about offering ways for you to do that.
Defining An Industry
SCNA features industry-leading speakers presenting relevant, applicable topics that impact not only the way you work, but also but the way you think about your work. Check back here for opportunities for you to participate in the selection of speakers and topics for sessions at the conference.
Celebrating Community
Having a great keynote speaker and solid group sessions is imperative, but we know the value in setting aside time for you pair with colleagues. SCNA provides time and space for smaller, tactile sessions to share best practices and information on your own. In software craftsmanship, everyone has something vital to share.
Events
In addition to the conference itself, SCNA is hosting a 5K run on the morning of Saturday, the 19th, at 6:30AM. 8th Light will be hosting a Code Retreat at their offices on Sunday, the 20th, facilitated by Corey Haines. RSVP here!
