Devoxx Poland
The Devoxx Poland call for papers closed!
es 3/31/16. Why should you submit your abstract? Devoxx Poland occurs in beautiful Krakow. June 22-24 are the dates. That's the most desirable time to be in central Europe. It's a global conference so you'll meet people from all over the world.
There were over 2000 participants last year. The conference is in a great venue. See this video for a peek at it. The attendees are not only developers but managers and many global companies. The talks are timely and excellent. They will help you improve your skills. There are also lots of job opportunities from both companies and recruiters. There are lots of freebies.
Also, you'll find beer and coffee! It's a well managed conference with a clear code of conduct. You'll find interesting talks on specific development topics and also culture. See this video with Sven Peters of Atlassian describing his impressions of Devoxx and his talk on culture for more details.
