Dev(Chatt); is a free, technology focused conference and expo for software developers, engineers, technologists and technology enthusiasts. Combining the best approaches from the unconference movement and more traditional conferences, Dev(Chatt); is both a place for attendees to grow their knowledge and to educate each other.
