Speaking about sexy technologies

And we thought... • Groovy, Grails, and Griffon are really GR8 technologies • It would be nice to create a special event dedicated to these technologies • Let’s launch a conference!

The idea

The concept • Affordable – We’re not in the business of making money on conferences, we just cover our costs • Great content – Focused on innovative technologies, how to integrate them together, show more advanced features • From the horse’s mouth – Sessions presented by makers and experts of these great technologies • Hands-on – Concrete code samples, how to get advantage of these technologies in your own projects

Speakers Jonathan Felch Paul King Dierk König Guillaume Laforge Vaclav Pech Graeme Rocher Jim Shingler
