Deadline for TechFest2014 is March 31st (Pittsburgh, PA, June 7)

[image: TechFest2014]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zu8lp2n63oh67qh80v2ih74hi0l1vsl83n9j1d30>

This is the third edition of the non-denominational software development
technology 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 submit
your talks<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z3kh58bauj1gmj7j3oame4c3c99uln806mhta6a0>
