At TechBash we inspire our attendees to build great things that will change the world. We’ve built a safe, welcoming and exciting environment that is designed for everyone to get the most out of the event. Our attendee lounge will have plenty of space for you to hang out and talk with old friends and make new ones. Speakers, attendees, and sponsors will gather in the lounge between sessions, sharing coffee, snacks, and ideas. Our venue, the Kalahari Resort, is really cool. It is a recently expanded resort, conference center, and 220,000 sq. ft. indoor water park, now the largest in the country. The Kalahari is located in the beautiful Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, less than a 2-hour drive from New York City, Philadelphia, and northern NJ. This location is still within reasonable driving distance of many other cities in the northeast. We look forward to seeing you there! We expect TechBash 2020 to have 5 breakout rooms and will have about 70 total sessions, depending on the talks received and audience size. You may submit as many talks as you like, but we recommend no more than five. Most TechBash speakers will be asked to present one or two sessions.Sessions are 50 minutes plus 10 minutes of Q&A. TechBash is a 3-day event (Wed/Thu/Fri) with an optional day of full-day workshops on Tuesday. Topic suggestions include: Software Development Front-End Web Development (Angular, React, Vue, Aurelia, Ember) Back-End Web Development (Node.js, ASP.NET Core) Mobile Development (Native and Cross-Platform) Development Tools and Frameworks (npm, Bootstrap, .NET Core, VS Code, CLIs & More) Programming Languages (JavaScript, C#, Python, Go, Swift, Dart, F#, TypeScript) Bots and AI IoT Cloud Infrastructure & Development PaaS IaaS Private Cloud Security AWS Microsoft Azure Google Cloud DevOps Build Tools, Version Control CI/CD Scripting Tools & Monitoring Containers & Virtualization Requirements & Methodologies Unit Testing Functional Testing Code Reviews UX Performance Requirements / User Stories Software Architecture Soft Skills Presentations & Storytelling Interviewing Leadership Coaching & Team Building Conflict Resolution Self Awareness Problem Solving Database & Enterprise Solutions SQL Server NoSQL Salesforce We're open to ideas!
