Firebird events and conferences all over the world
We just had the 5th edition of Firebird Developers Day, in Piracicaba – SP, Brazil. This time there was 580 subscribed people, and it was an amazing day. There was two TV stations covering the conference, and comments from the attendees could not be better 😉
You can check some pictures here. Thanks for all who attended the conference. I hope to see you again in the next year!
Next saturday (19/July), we will have the 5th edition of the Firebird Developers Day conference in Brazil. This is the biggest Firebird conference (regarding number of attendees) in the world. This year, there will be around 580 attendees in the conference, and if you dream about how would be to organize such big conference, the picture below can give you an idea: 600 folders, assembled in 3h30 by four “experienced” people (yeh, we work fast) 😉 Each folder contains a mousepad, pen, magazine, sponsor papers, CD, etc.
In the next days, I plan to post some reports and videos about the conference preparatives, etc. Stay tuned to FirebirdNews 😉
