About Developer Day Scotland

Developer Day Scotland (DDS) is a free to attend community event, run by the community for the community. It is based upon the highly successful Developer! Developer! Developer! (DDD) community conference events held at Microsoft's TVP Campus in Reading! Demand to attend DDD is now so high that DDD6 was fully booked within 24 hour of registration opening.

Developer Day Scotland sees the format and success of DDD coming to Glasgow on the 10th May 2008. The remit of the Scottish event will be expanded to include presentations on even more technologies and platforms. Other local touches and facilities will ensure the DDD format is taken to a new level here in Scotland.

Some of the highlights:

Modern state of the art conference facility courtesy of Glasgow Caledonian University
Three technical tracks with a capacity in excess of 150 delegates
Sixty minute in-depth technical content sessions
Leading international speakers and technology specialists
Networking area, CPD resources, CV workshop and much more.

Audience

Interest to attend as a delegate has already been expressed by individuals from education, small business, multi-national corporations and various branches of government.
