SDTConf is an unconference for expert software practitioners to meet face-to-face and discuss/demonstrate simple design and testing principles, practices and hacks.
At this conference you'll meet real, hands-on practitioners interested in peer-to-peer learning and exploration. We strive hard to avoid fluffy, marketing talks and other non-sense.
In 2013, we are planning 3 Conferences in the following cities: Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia. Details of first one are below:
