Three parallel leading themes, all-day presentations devoted to a particular topic (pre-cons) as well as a bonding event – this is what we have planned for the participants of the this year edition of .NET DeveloperDays, which is going to take place on October 18th – 20th.
.NET DeveloperDays is the biggest event in Central and Eastern Europe dedicated exclusively to application development on the .NET platform. It is designed for architects, developers, testers and project managers using .NET in their work and to those who want to improve their knowledge and skills in this field. The conference content is 100% English, making it easy for the international audience to attend.

Who has been invited?
The organizers have just revealed the names of all speakers together with conference agenda. On the first day, the opening session will be delivered by Michele Leroux Bustamante (Surviving Microservices), while the entire event will be closed with the speech by Neal Ford (Stories Every Developer Should Know).
Among the speakers for two conference days there are:

- Alex Mang (How Far Can ‘Serverless’ Actually Go?)
- Alon Fliess (Past, Present & Future of C# Debugging)
- Daniel Marbach (Microservices with Service Fabric. Easy… or is it?)
- Dino Esposito (The Same Software Just the Other Way Around)
- Dror Helper (Secret unit testing tools no one ever told you about)
- Eran Stiller (Bot-Tender: A .NET Chatbot Walks into a Bar)
- Gill Cleeren (Practical Xamarin.Forms)
- Szymon Kulec (Performance that pays off)

This list presents only some of the prepared presentations. Summaries of subsequent sessions together with speakers’ biographical notes are available at the conference website.

Meet other experts!
Bonding event for all participants and speakers is planned on the first day when all sessions are over. In practice, during the entire event the participants will have the chance to talk and exchange their knowledge, but looking at plans for the bonding event, one may assume that this is going to be the best occasion to meet other programmers from all over the world. 
“IT is one of the fastest developing sectors, so we pay great attention to the up-to-date character of Conference subjects”, say the Organizers. ”Each year, experts from different countries come to the event. We record the biggest number of participants from our neighboring countries; however, there are also those who travel from such more distant corners of the world as the Balkans, Portugal or even the USA and Australia! In this way we have the chance not only to share content-related knowledge, but also to contribute to the international network of .NET experts”, adds Maciej Pilecki, Head of the Organizing Committee.

You can’t miss it!
The conference together with the presentations are going to be held in English. The registration system as well as all information concerning the event are available at http://net.developerdays.pl/ as well as at Facebook profile of the Conference: https://www.facebook.com/DeveloperDays/.

Leading European telecommunication experts are to meet in Jūrmala for Telco Trends 2017

TELCO TRENDS 2017, the largest international telecommunication conference and exhibition in the Baltic States, is going to be held in Jūrmala from 14 to 18 August 2017. Experts from 37 countries are going to discuss the most topical issues of the industry.

Over 7 years the Telco Trends conference has become one of the leading platforms in Eastern Europe, bringing together professionals in the field of electronic communications.

At Telco Trends, experts from CIS countries receive first-hand information on reforms in the European telecommunications sector and how legislative changes would impact operators’ activities. Entrepreneurs from the EU can discuss joint projects with colleagues working in the multimillion-dollar markets of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Moldova.

The participants of the event include heads of professional associations, influential European lawmakers, representatives of the largest market players, as well as leading industry experts, and the warm, friendly atmosphere that Telco Trends is famous for ensures that the communication goes beyond the formal.

The organisers have prepared an extensive and engaging programme that covers the most pressing topics of concern to the participants of the electronic communications market.

As always, Telco Trends 2017 will provide a discussion of the most significant topics in the field. Experts are going to assess the results of reforms in regard to the EU’s Digital Single Market and analyse new legislative initiatives. Difficulties in regard to introducing local content to the global market are going to be discussed at the broadcasting organisation forum.

The best experts are going to analyse the dynamics of the international TV and OTT services market and the development of innovative payment technologies, since business activities of Pay TV operators and companies working in the e-commerce segment have become more global due to modern communications.
