Emerging Tech Conference in Philly
Had no idea this conference was going on until I got an email from Andrea. Below is the description:
This year’s Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise Conference (a.k.a. “Philly Emerging Tech” and “Philly ETE”) is set for March 26-27, just outside of Philadelphia.
This event always features great Ruby content. This year’s Ruby line-up includes:
– David Black, a local Rubyist and author of Ruby for Rails and The Well-Grounded Rubyist
– David Chelimsky, RSpec Lead Developer
– Corey Haines, of Pair Programming Tour (http://programmingtour.blogspot.com/) and “How I Got Started in Programming” Interviews (http://geekstorycorp.blogspot.com/) fame
– Brian Marick, Agile Manifesto co-author; author of Everyday Scripting with Ruby
– Gregg Pollack and Jason Seifer, of the Rails Envy Podcast
– Nick Sieger, JRuby core team member
– Ezra Zygmuntowicz, creator of the Merb framework and co-founder of Engine Yard
The keynote speakers will be Andy Hunt (co-founder of The Agile Alliance, co-founder of the Pragmatic Bookshelf, and co-author of The Pragmatic Programmer); Jascha Franklin-Hodge ( CTO of Blue State Digital, which spearheaded Obama for America’s online initiatives); and Michael Tiemann, VP of Open Source Affairs for RedHat.
Other speakers include jQuery creator John Resig; Bill Dudney, author of Core Animation for the iPhone and co-author of iPhone SDK Development; Ed Burnette, author of Hello, Android: Introducing Google’s Mobile Development Platform; and Jeremy Sydik, author of Designing Accessible Web Sites.
The cost is $290 per person. But there’s a “4 for the price of 3″ discount (that is, for 4 colleagues or friends — not necessarily from the same company — registered at one time), which brings the price down to $217 per person.

Let me know if you’re attending. Perhaps we can get that 4 for 3 price.
