DeveloperWeek Conference & Festival 2013 arrives next month

DeveloperWeek Conference & Festival arrives in the USA next month.  The event serves as a platform to bring global developer talent together in San Francisco across a week-long event

DeveloperWeek Conference & Festival arrives in San Francisco next month - from Friday 01 February to Thursday, 07 February 2013.  DeveloperWeek includes the Data 2.0 Summit and DataWeek and is the first annual conference, but is the fourth week-long technology conference.

The event will be held in downtown San Francisco at The SPUR Urban Center (654 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA) and will see aspiring and veteran developers converge on a seven-day event to learn more about and build with over 200 developer apps, languages and tools.  Resting up pre event is strongly advised as DeveloperWeek CEO, Geoff Domoracki explains, ?DeveloperWeek isn?t just a conference, it?s a week-long series of events! Currently, including a hackathon, conference, hiring mixer, VIP reception, three meet-ups, two after-parties, and a SF Beta start-up demo event.?

100 speakers from all over the globe will gather to educate and share the latest about Android, design, Hadoop, MongoDB Node.js and much more as Domoracki comments, ?I?m excited about speakers who are demoing completely new and potentially revolutionary development technologies.  Steve Newcomb is the founder of Famo.us, which promises to enable developers to build in one language across all mobile devices. Devrim Yasar has a new tool called ?Koding? that enables developers to code apps in their browsers in a collaborative environment. Two-years ago, these technologies didn?t exist!?
 
However, it?s not all about learning and sharing, there?s a real practical hands-on element to the conference and to get developers into the swing of things, the DeveloperWeek hackathon kicks off the educational fuelled week with hundreds of development teams building new mobile and web app ideas.  The top five hackathon teams will get ?incubated? by DeveloperWeek advisors receiving sponsor products and services to help turn their apps into launchable start-ups.  Therefore, if developers know they want to build a brand new app during DeveloperWeek and take advantage of this opportunity, they can apply for the scholarship program and get a free DeveloperWeek Pro Pass.   

It a great draw and as all conferences should strive to do, DeveloperWeek gives all stakeholders including delegates real tools to increase the likelihood of success during and post event presenting them with the right platforms.  ?Our hackathon aims to empower developers to build apps that will become actual start-up tech companies. The top five winning teams from the hackathon go on to receive coaching and free services from our advisors so they can present again on Wednesday at our conference to a group of actual investors,? says Domoracki.
