360iDev – Who attends 360idev?

360|iDev, since it’s beginning has attracted an awesome mix of people.
The first conference in 2009, had several sessions, including a sunday Hands-On about Jailbreaking, and what you can do in the jailbroken environment. We also had tons of people who had just put 1 or 2 apps in the store, we had a few folks [...]

360iDev – Wiki

If you saw the announcement of BOF sessions, you know we have a wiki we use for the ad hoc stuff around the conference.

We updated the wiki for one more bit of ad hoc. Activities.

If you’re planning a trip to the mothership or hitting a specific bar one night, or a movie on Wednesday or lunch on Saturday before the conference, whatever. Post it on the activities page of the wiki.

This way folks looking for the fun, can find it easily ;) It truly does suck to have to hunt for fun :)

On the main page of the wiki is also a few links for hotel searches in the area. If you missed the room block, shame on you, but we don’t want ya sleepin’ on the street, so check those links for other options.

360iDev – Birds of a Feather sessions

For those that don’t know what a Birds Of a Feather session is, it’s basically an ad hoc session organized by attendees or speakers, or anyone really for that matter (sorry can’t walk in off the street, gotta at least be an attendee).

Maybe it’s a Sci fi meetup or how to best create app icons, or a round table chat about the benefits of core data… whatever you want, literally. We’ve got a wiki set up with a BOFs page.

360iDev Speaker apps highlighted

We’re just starting this initiative, so keep an eye on the apps page for frequent updates.

I’ll admit, this idea wasn’t ours, but we love it. We tell you often how incredible our speakers are, and their bios typically tell you about some of the apps they’ve built, but not always.

So from now on, and going back retroactively, we’re going to maintain a 360|iDev speaker apps page. Well organize it by “Class” ie. San Jose 2009, Denver 2009, San Jose 2010, etc. so the page will grow. It’ll be a place where attendees can see the calibre of our speakers, and hopefully a place our speakers can get a bit more exposure for their apps. We’ll display the app icon, name, and link to iTunes.

Hopefully this will help attendees and potential attendees (and even sponsors) realize the awesomeness of our speakers. They’re pros! and deserve as much recognition as we can give them!
