Ok gang – it’s almost November 6, and you know that that means… it’s time for Tulsa TechFest! TTF is our annual tech conference featuring 13 tracks and over 60 sessions of high-quality, expert contributed content. I’m really excited about this year’s speaker line-up! Here are just some of the speaker highlights you can look forward to when you attend:
As you can see, there are a LOT of very experienced speakers delivering some AWESOME sessions. For speakers of this quality, you’d normally have to spend several hundred dollars at a paid conference, or attend a bazillion user group meetings all over the country. Luckily for you, David Walker has brought all this talent together into one FREE event!
When is this event and how do I register, you’re asking? Here’s all the important info you’ll need to share with your boss/manager/spouse/etc to get the day off to come out to Tulsa:

The session list for Tulsa TechFest 2009 have been posted to the event website. I’ve got 2 sessions, one on cloud (that I’m not sure what I’ll be presenting on yet – any suggestions?) and one on C# 4.0 / VS2010.
Agenda: http://techfests.com/Tulsa/2009/Agenda/default.aspx
Tulsa TechFest is one of the premier cross-platform, cross-discipline conferences in South Central. Over the past 2 years, we’ve hit over 1000 attendees per event, and are looking to really make a big splash again this year. Following the trend from last year, registration will be “two cans or two bucks”. Food collected will be donated to the Community FoodBank of Eastern Oklahoma, and all money will be donated to the Family & Children’s Services.
You can keep up with what’s going on with Tulsa TechFest by following @TulsaTechFest on Twitter, or subscribing to newsletter-request@tulsatechfest.com.
