ITDevConX - The Delphi European Conference

ITDevConX logo

ITDevCon reached its 10th edition in 2019!

10 is a nice number. Seems yesterday when me and my friend and colleague Fabrizio Bitti were at a “YET ANOTHER CONFERENCE” and looking each others in the eyes, we told each other: “We can do better”.

I don’t know if we really always did better, but now ITDevCon is a strong presence in the Delphi (and not only) field. Lots of Delphi developer uses ITDevCon to get a fresh air stop over their day-by-day work. This is usefult if you want improve and understand how the IT world is chaging outside your company. While reading on the Internet about a technology is useful, talking with people that actually used that technology or approach is a completely different thing. Moreover, at ITDevCon very often there are the guys behind the tecnology you are using or you plan to use. They don’t just “talk” about somethin - they actually built what thay are talking about (and what you will probably use). This is an enourmous value for a programmer.

During these years we’ve the pleasure to have as speaker some of the most recognized and influent Delphi gurus of the world. Just to name a few (in no particular order, and I know that I’ll forgot someone…):

  • DavidI
  • Marco Cantù
  • Pawel Glowaki
  • Ray Konopka
  • Bruno Fierens
  • Boian Mitov
  • Stefan Glienke
  • Primož Gabrijelčič
  • Christian-W. Budde
  • Andre Mussche
  • Jeroen Pluimers
  • Daniel Magin
  • Fabrizio Bitti
  • Massimiliano Zeraftis
  • Daniele Spinetti
  • Salvatore Sparacino
  • Marco Controneo
  • Stefano Nasto
  • Andrea Magni
  • Carlo Wolter
  • Carlo Barazzetta
  • Marco Breveglieri
  • Giacomo Degli Esposti

…and many others

This edition will be the best edition ever… as usual :-)

As every year, I’m building the agenda for next ITDevCon that will be held next November 7th, 8th in Rome (Italy), in the same location of the ITDevCon 2018: the bit Time group headquarter in Rome!

This will be the 10th conference edition and will be organized, as usual, by bit Time Professionals, part of the bit Time Group.

CALL4PAPERS

The call for papers are officially open right now, so if you want to propose some speeches, I’ll be glad to see them.

Send your Call4Paper to d.teti@bittime.it.

I already received some C4P, I’ll reply as soon as all the tech comitee members will accept (or reject) the proposals.

As usual, for the Call4Paper I need:

  • Title (for every talk)
  • Abstract (for every talk)
  • Difficulty level (for every talk)
    • Difficulty level is a scale from 1 to 3 with the following mean: introduction, intermediate, advanced
  • Speaker’s photo (at least 500x500px)
  • Speaker’s profile

I’m looking forward to your proposal. The call4papers ends at Sep 30th, 2019 but if you have *VERY* interesting topic to propose, propose it… I’ll try to arrange the schedule and fit it in the agenda.

Proposals will be evaluated and the speakers will be contacted ASAP.
