The 2010 Heartland District Technology Conference Schedule
Yet another technology conference season is upon us!
There a many great events being planned and some are already announced.
Here is a short list of events and links to their websites. Save this link, as I hear of new events I’ll make sure to update this blog post to add them. Just a reminder that most of these events are in the “Heartland District” as defined by Microsoft which includes Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee but I’ll add events in other neighboring states as well. Don’t mistake me, this isn’t just a list of Microsoft events either! Any technology event in the area that I hear about I will list. If you know of any drop me a line and I’ll get it added!

NO EVENTS
I can’t stress enough how much fun these events are. Not only can you learn a lot of things but you get a chance to hang out and socialize with some of the top developers in the area. I encourage all developers to try to attend at least one local event. You will not regret it!
