What Makes RWDevCon Special
RWDevCon is designed around 4 main principles:
1) Hands-On Tutorials
RWDevCon is unique in that it is focused on high quality hands-on tutorials. It has 3 simultaneous tracks of tutorials, leading to some challenging and fun choices on which to attend! :]
In each tutorial, you will follow along with a hands-on demo with the instructor:
After the demo, you’ll break out into a hands-on lab, where you’ll be challenged to try things out on your own – and the instructor will be right with you if you have any questions.
We really think this hands-on experience is the best way to learn, and this way you won’t just leave with notes and references – you’ll leave with actual new skills.
2) Team Coordination
Just like we do for books and tutorials on this site, RWDevCon is highly coordinated as a team. This lets us:
- Cover the material you want. We send a survey to all attendees with potential tutorial topics, and let everyone vote on what they want. We then cover the top voted topics.
- Practice and polish. Each speaker is assigned a tech editor, and practices once with their tech editor, and once with me. The result is a well polished talks that give you a great experience.
- Coordinate materials. We develop our tutorial materials in a standard format, and the result is high quality content that remains useful even after the conference – we even make a 600+ page conference book!
3) Inspiration
After a long days work on hands-on tutorials, you’ll be ready for a break.
That’s why at the end of the day, we switch to something completely different: inspiration talks.
These are short 18-minute non-technical talks with the goal of giving you a new idea, some battle-won advice, and leaving you excited and energized.
If you’re curious what these look like, check out our RWDevCon videos.
4) Friendship
We believe one of the best parts about going to a conference is the people, and there’s plenty of opportunities to meet new friends.
We’ll have an opening reception before the conference begins to get to meet each other, board games at lunch, and an awesome party on Friday night. We have some surprises up our sleeves this year too – you won’t want to miss it! :]
Where To Go From Here?
If you’re interested in getting a ticket, now’s the best time:
- Before it sells out: RWDevCon only has a limited amount of spaces, and for the past two years the conference has sold out very quickly, so now’s your chance to have a guaranteed ticket.
- To lock in your discount: The first 75 people who buy tickets will a $100 discount off the standard ticket price – but this won’t last long!
You can grab your ticket at the RWDevCon web site. We hope to see you there! :]
