Conferences in 2010

Posted by: Venkat Subramaniam on 2010-01-24 08:40:00.0

2010 is going to be busy for conference and use group speaking.
I'm excited the following conferences and user groups have invited me to speak in 2010.

Conferences:

USville (Several US locations)	Click on image for dates near you	NFJS is 10 years old now! I started on the NFJS tour fairly early and it's been absolute fun. The attendees on this tour are smart and the speakers have become close friends. Love the show and glad to be on it again in 2010. My topics include Java, Scala, Groovy, and agile practices.

Atlanta	March 8-9	Quite a variety of topics and speakers at this event. I will be giving a keynote and will talk about effective Java.

Bangalore	March 18-19	Covers quite a variety of topics across language and framework boundaries. My topics include Java, Groovy, .NET, and Javascript.

Philadelphia	April 8-9	I am really looking forward to this conference so I can meet some of the people I've been wanting to meet for a while. My topic is related to DSL in Groovy.

Minneapolis	April 16	Centered around technologies, tools, and frameworks related to Groovy, this one day conference will bring some of the key people in the Groovy community together. I will be giving the kick-off talk at this event and a few Groovy related sessions.

Bangalore	April 20-23	This would be my third year at this conference. It is organized really well and one of the best polyglot conferences in India. I will be giving a keynote and speaking on F#, Java, Scala, Groovy, Functional Programming, and agile practices.

Denver	May 6	This is a conference focused on Architecture. This is the first time I will be at this conference and looking forward to learning from others at the event. My talk most likely will be "Tell me about your Architecture, I will tell you about your Organization."

Denver	June 14-17	Summer in Denver this year is going to be hotter than usual with Über Conf coming to town. This conference will offer an eclectic mixture of languages on the JVM and practical agility. The speaker round up looks awesome and the conference price includes a number of interesting workshops. Can't wait for this one.

Houston	October 9	I could not make it to this event in the past few years, but I have promised to speak there this year. This is another good polyglot event with several great speakers and good participation from the attendees.

Chicago	October 19-22	This is one of the most exciting conferences for the Groovy/Grails practitioners and I look forward to meeting some of the influencing minds behind these technologies at this event.

User Groups:

Java Metroplex User Group	Testing with Groovy	Jan. 13
Memphis Java User Group	How to approach refactoring	Feb. 18
Boston Area Scala Enthusiasts	Scala Idioms and Design Patterns	March 4
Agile India - Bangalore	Test Driving Multithreaded Code	April 21
