On April 9th, I’m excited to participate in the Emerging Tech for the Enterprise conference in Philadelphia, my hometown. If you’re attending ETE, please come say hi! Additionally, don’t miss Chris Cera and David Brussin’s talk on Enterprise Cloud Computing: Pitfalls, Puzzles, and Great Rewards.
To wrap up my East Coast trip, I’ll be presenting at the RubyNation conference in Reston, Virginia, on Saturday, April 10th. I have fond memories of Reston from when it was known for its quiet charm. It’s great to see the area thriving, and I look forward to reconnecting with old friends and colleagues while I’m there.
On April 13th, at 6:00 PM, there will be a Mechanical Turk Meetup in New York. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the global on-demand workforce of Mechanical Turk, discover best practices, engage with current Requesters, and network with the Mechanical Turk team. Be sure to preregister here.
Finally, on April 26th, Terry Wise, Director of Business Development for Amazon Web Services, will be speaking at PegaWORLD in Philadelphia.
