The second annual Houston Techfest takes place on Saturday, September 13th, at the U of H main campus. This year the Techfest has expanded to over fifty sessions. Make the time to attend!
This is a free, community-driven event that (this year anyway) features mostly Java-related or .NET-related content, with a smattering of just about everything else.
This is your only chance to attend such a wide variety of in-depth sessions, in one place, without getting on a plane and flying somewhere. If you’re bored by flashy tech demos, attend the Methodology, Security, and ALT.NET (AKA Continuous Improvement) tracks. On the other hand, if you love flashy tech demos, we’ve got those too! Lots of them! I'm also happy to say that most of the sessions cover advanced topics, so if you're an information nut like me, you'll find something new at the Techfest. And it’s not all business either; there'll be fun sessions on XNA, Deep Zoom, and Robotics Studio. Don't forget, the price is right!
