DevExpress at DevCon 2015

DevCon is a development conference for the Microsoft platform, which takes place in late May or early June. It traditionally gathers a huge number of people - both visitors and speakers. This year was no exception, and on May 20-21, the natural resort “Yakhonti” was transformed into a platform for presenting and discussing the long-awaited new products, amazing devices and interesting news. Our company DevExpress produces many development tools for the Microsoft platform and is also the sponsor of this event. Therefore, we could not pass by such an event, and gladly presented DevExpress at DevCon 2015. As it was - see under the cat.

The conference venue is located near the city of Noginsk near Moscow. It should be noted that there is crystal clear air and beautiful landscapes.



Near the pond and the main buildings are neat streets with compact houses and cottages.



In the conference hall, the DevExpress stand was waiting for us, which we had to equip and arrange.



This year we had both a large number of colorful brochures and many devices for displaying our products - laptops, phones, tablets, as well as a stand with a touch monitor.



Of course, we could not do without our main talisman - the sparkling Tula samovar, which was wildly popular. This year we decided not to bring the traditional Tula gingerbread, but in vain - many remembered, approached and asked about them. We are very pleased about this, so next year we promise to reform, and bring our favorite gingerbread cookies.



Well, we were the main characters at the stand - we talked about DevExpress products, answered questions, discussed the possibilities and improvements of our tools.



This year, the conference was held under the slogan “The World of the Living Code”, and the main stars of DevCon 2015 were the fluffy cat, eagle owl, fox and raccoon.



They all posed for the audience with pleasure, so it took us a considerable amount of time to tear our more susceptible colleagues from DevExpress from these cute animals.



The raccoon was especially popular, I suspect that because of his craving, rinse something in a small basin with water.



Conference reports were held in several rooms at the same time, both small and large. We managed to visit several of them.



And our wonderful colleague Alexander Blinov at this conference presented a report on application development for Xamarin Forms . A recording of the report can be found among all the videos on the DevCon website .



It is worth noting that during the reports, the halls were almost completely filled with visitors, because the topics of the reports were very, very diverse.



Next to our stand was a wall for the signatures of visitors, and by the end of the second day it was very, very colorful decorated.



Of course, we also left our mark on her.



In general, the conference gave us a lot of pleasant experiences. We are glad that we had such a chance to introduce our company DevExpress at DevCon 2015.
