TWO FULL DAYS OF CONTENT

The second annual St. Louis Day of .NET Conference was held on Friday and Saturday, August 28th and 29th, 2009. There were so much great content it can't all be absorbed within a single day!

Great Location

The venue was at Ameristar Conference Center in St. Charles, Missouri. This great conference center offers state of the art facilities to accommodate all sessions with a capacity to support over 1000 attendees. All attendees had access to all the great entertainment options provided by this exciting location. The proximity of the conference center to historic downtown St. Charles, Missouri makes this a great place for the conference.

Over 50 Sessions

We had over 50 unique technical sessions covering all the technologies you use today, as well as providing a preview to the technologies coming tomorrow. Many of these sessions were presented twice during the conference in order to provide attendees with the opportunity to catch all the sessions that interest them.

This sessions include coverage of such technologies as:

Silverlight
WPF
WCF
Visual Studio.NET 2010
DotNetNuke
Sharepoint
ASP.NET AJAX
ASP.NET MVC
SQL Server 2008
Test Driven Development
Agile Programming

Great Speakers

Some of the best and brightest national and regional presenters spending two days sharing their passion for technology with all attendees.

“Jump Start” Sessions

Special introductory sessions on key technologies, which are aimed at giving developers a solid foundation and guidance for learning what a technology is, when it should be used, and what are the best tools and resources available to begin to take advantage of these technologies.

These sessions were geared towards beginning to intermediate developers who want to see a technology in action and get the guidance they need to move forward with a technology. Each of these special sessions were offered twice during the conference giving each attendee the flexibility to attending more than one.

Topics covered in “Jump Start” Sessions:

Getting Started with WPF
Getting Started with WCF
Getting Started with DotNetNuke
Getting Started with Sharepoint
Getting Started with Silverlight
Getting Started with Windows Azure

Special Sessions and Networking Opportunities

In an effort to provide the most value to all conference attendees, this year’s conference offered a wide array of alternative sessions and other content such as roundtable discussions, "Birds of a Feather" opportunities, and a vendor fair.

Special Room Rates for Attendees

Attendees that needed accomodations were allowed to take advantage of a special discounted room rate.

Food and Refreshments

Each day of the event, all attendees received a continental breakfast plus a boxed lunch. Refreshments were served throughout the day.

Attendee Party at the Home Nightclub

On the evening of Friday August 28th, all attendees, speakers, and vendors were invited to a special event at the Home Nightclub at the Ameristar. This event featured many networking opportunities to meet and mingle with the region’s best software developers.

Prizes, Prizes, Prizes

Dozens of great prizes donated by our great sponsors were distributed to our lucky attendees.

Great Price

As the St. Louis Day of .NET Conference continues to be an event put on by volunteers from the local development community, this great conference only costs $100 per attendee ($125 for late registrations). This cost provides the attendee access to all of our great content plus covers the cost of breakfast, lunch, snacks, and refreshments for both days of the conference. All attendees took home some great gifts and and some lucky few took away one of our many prizes.

This low price per attendee is only possible due to the generous support of our many corporate sponsors who have, in a tight economy, provided financial support to our conference to make it possible. Without them we could not provide the level of content and quality that we are so excited about.

With the 2009 event behind us, we're winding down; but at the same time starting to prepare for next year's event! If you want to follow our progress, you can find us on Twitter at #stldodn or follow announcements made on our Facebook group at “St. Louis Day of .NET”.

What can you do to help?

We are very fortunate to have a team of local volunteers currently working on a number of committees to make this conference a reality. We're currently trying to tie up loose ends; but we're already formulating plans for next year's event. If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know at Organizers@StLouisDayofDotNet.com
