conference in Pittsburgh. Any topic related to software development on any language
or platform (or no technology, if you wish to talk about the softer side) is welcome.
They had a wide mix of topics and presenter levels (beginner to professional) last year
and would love to have that again. If you are newer to speaking and feel intimidated
by trying to pull together a full-length presentation, they also have a time period of
30 minute talks, which can also be a good length for a narrowly focused talk.
The event is June 7, 2014 at La Roche College in the North Hills area of Pittsburgh. They expect around 300 people to attend. Please <a href="http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1za9hq7rtgj391a6bfe12uiaibkub6f148bqjosb8" style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">submit your talks</a>.</p>
