Welcome to Polyglot 2012
We are very excited to be bringing you the first Polyglot un-conference. A non-denominational and very pragmatic software development conference that is about software development and nothing but.
What does Polyglot mean?
Polyglot: a person who speaks, writes, or reads a number of languages.
For those of us in the software development business, polyglot refers to the practice of knowing and utilizing multiple languagues, frameworks and stacks to build software. In many ways, and particularly for web developers, we all seem have at least bit of polyglot going on these days.
The core idea of the Polyglot Conference is to celebrate this diversity and break us out of our typically language-specific user groups and conferences to come together to talk about the challenges and interests that we all have in common.
What is an Un-conference?
Simply put, it’s an attendee driven conference. Attendees propose the sessions, organize and plan the tracks for the day and facilitate the sessions and discussions during the event.
In order give everyone a bit of a preview of the sessions for the event people have already started proposing their topics on our user voice site. Please take a look and add your own.
When is it?
The event is being held in Vancouver, BC at SFU Harbour Centre, on Saturday, May 26th, 2012. Tickets are $35 and available now through Eventbrite ยป
But wait! There’s more! Check out the Tutorials on Friday, and the Hackathon on Sunday.
