SDN Conference 2009 is THE information platform for the professional software developer. We would like to help you to convince your boss or your employees that the SDN Conference is a huge source of knowledge for your company. Below, we listed a few pros that will show that SDN Conference is an event that cannot be missed by any company that takes knowledge seriously! (you do not have to tell your boss about the bag, the goodies, the T-shirts and the fun ;-) ).

Knowledge will put you in the lead
Changes in software development are going fast. Very fast. The sessions will give rise to new ideas and new solutions. In the months after the conference you will be able to apply and to test the knowledge you gained. Good information is the key to better programming. If you are or become member of SDN, you will have extra opportunities to evaluate. The association, the news groups, the web site… the complete network is at your disposal.

Learn in an efficient way
You can learn everything from books of course. However, before the ink has dried, the knowledge is old. During SDN Conference you can gather information in an efficient way. On top of that, you will get real life samples and you will be in the position to ask your questions. During breaks and during lunch and diner, all attendees can share their thoughts with the more than 35 speakers.

Participating in the knowledge network
The conference has another success factor. You will have the unique opportunity to get to know your fellow developers. Perhaps they have the same difficulties as you to get things to work? Do they have a solution, or maybe you do? This makes for a large knowledge network. That’s also the SDN. The SDN Conference is the event where we meet face to face!

Building your knowledge
At SDN Conference 2009 you will have the opportunity to broaden your knowledge, you will discover new areas to apply to your own projects. For this reason the conference offers sessions that link to more advanced sessions. You will start as a beginner, and leave with in-depth knowledge and examples. On top of that, you will form an opinion on tools and techniques that are invaluable in consultancy roles, both internal and dialogues with customers.

All information on a disc
Every attendee will receive a cd rom or a dvd. This disc will contain all sessions (both presentations and used code). This means that you can just sit and listen to speakers, without the need to take notes. At home you can browse and study the disc. Several sponsors will also add software to the package, which can be found in the conference bag.

If your boss or employee still not is convinced… just invite him or her to also attend the conference!
