DevNexus 2010

Website: www.devnexus.com
Dates: March 8th and 9th 2010
Location: Cobb Galleria

Do you want to jumpstart your development team?
Have you always wanted to energize your team, to increase their productivity
and job satisfaction?
Are you challenged with keeping up on current technologies?
Especially when budgets are tight and the cost of travel + conference
tickets/training seats is very high?

Here are some reasons why you should bring the whole team to DevNexus:
1- This is an Atlanta-based event, no need to travel thus saving thousands
of dollars and multiple days of travel time.
2- Low ticket price, the average developer conference ticket costs over $500
a day.
3- It's like sending the entire team for price of one attendee to any other
developer conference!!
4- Two days of immersion in new technologies, tools and techniques (agile,
dynamic languages, RIA, cloud, Spring, Java EE 6)
5- In the software development profession it is absolutely mandatory that
each individual continue to grow their skills
  - more knowledge = better decision making = more productivity
6- An opportunity to meet with other members of the local community and find
out what they are doing on their projects - Atlanta's biggest name brands,
respected ISVs and consulting firms send over 200 developers every year.
7- The ability to meet some of the key folks behind popular frameworks and
technologies (Spring, JBoss, Flex, GWT)
8- The ability to get your team members out of the proverbial box and into a
dynamic and stimulating environment
9- The $185 ticket cost is only to offset the meeting facilities, A/V, food
& drink, AJUG is a volunteer managed, non-profit
10- Discounts for groups of 5 or more bring that price down to $150 per
person

and one more

11- This event is organized by the volunteers of the Atlanta Java Users
Group, by the local community for the local community

DevNexus is the most economical educational event for professional software
developers in Atlanta and we are excited to have another great cadre of
speakers, topics and participants.

If you have any questions please email info at ajug.org and one of our
volunteers will get back to you as soon as possible.

Sincerely,
Burr
