My friend and fellow conference organizer, Gray Herter, just sent me a picture he took of me speaking at the DevIgnition Conference at Booz Allen Hamilton’s Newman Auditorium in McLean, VA. This is another of the 37 plus places that I’ve spoken at, although it was a very, very nice venue. There were roughly 150 attendees present at the event.
DevIgnition 3 Bigger Than Ever
DevIgnition 2012, now in it’s 3rd year, was a smashing success! It’s grown into a one-day, double-track conference with 170+ attendees. Many thanks to SAIC for helping us host this awesome event!
Organizational Whiplash
I’m now planning three conferences at the same time, DevIgnition, RubyNation and the Toastmasters District 29 Fall Conference. Just shoot me now!
DevIgnition Podium Graphic
Don Anderson, graphic artist extraordinaire, put together a nifty podium graphic for DevIgnition 2011. Check it out below:

DevIgnition 2011 Planning in Progress
Planning for DevIgnition 2011 is in progress. Look for a probable December 9th landing date.
DevIgnition Bumper
I just got an awesome DevIgnition bumper, an animated introduction culminating in the DevIgnition logo, from Don Anderson. Now that I’ve got this, I can start getting the DevIgnition conference videos completed. Expect some nice online technical videos shortly.
DevIgnition Launches in Grand Style
The DevIgnition Conference debuted on December 3rd in the Oracle Theater at Oracle’s facility in Reston VA. As one of the founders, I’m pleased to report that the conference was a terrific success, with a roster of excellent speakers, a nice collection of sponsors and a sold-out crowd.
This multi-technology conference included talks on Java, JavaScript (not related to Java at all), Clojure, JRuby and NetBeans. Now, we just need to start planning for DevIgnition 2011. Photo by Arun Gupta, Oracle’s Glassfish evangelist.
DevIgnition!!!
I’m at DevIgnition 2010 in Reston, VA. There are great talks on Java, JavaScript, JRuby, Clojure and other topics. Plus, I’m responsible for videotaping all of the conference sessions.
DevIgnition T-Shirt Designs
Here’s a preview of the T-shirt designs for the DevIgnition Conference being held on December 3rd at the Oracle Theater in Reston, VA.
Another item of interest: We’ve obviously chosen a rocket motif for the conference. It’s interesting that Nasa has also scheduled the launch of the space shuttle Discovery for the same day as the conference.
