Tony Redmond - Why TEC 2020 is next level

There are a ton of technology conferences that you can go and attend and spend good money attending. However, I think the difference between the vast majority of technology conferences and the type of conference that we want to get going with TEC 2020 is the depth of the material that's delivered, who delivers that material, and the opportunity you have to interact with speakers and with fellow participants after and during the event. As we've been receiving session submissions from people who really want to come and talk at TEC, we've been looking at those submissions with the [? eye ?] of saying, OK, what's different here? What are you going to talk about? How are you going to really get to the heart of the subject? How are you, how is your session going to be different than at other conferences? We definitely don't want to see you give sessions at TEC that you give at other conferences. We want you to go to the next level. We want you to really go down into the technology so that people understand the technology, and when they come out they understand how to use that technology to get work done, and they can use it to go and solve real problems in their day-to-day work when they get back from the conference. So in a nutshell, I think the difference in TEC is that it's just the depth of the thing, the depth delivered in a very small, very focused conference that makes a difference from the other conferences that are out there.
