“GeekFest 2011: IT days in Irkutsk”

From October 7 to October 12 in Irkutsk a number of events took place under the roof of “GeekFest 2011: IT days in Irkutsk”.

• October 7 Business Day in the congress hotel "Baikal Business Center".
• October 8 Developers Day at the Institute of Energy Systems them. L. A. Melentyeva SB RAS.
• October 10-12, free trainings from Intel at ISTU.

Conference participants were expected: flying fish, Batman, a troll in a helmet, and much more ...



This time we held three different events in three different places. Distribution imposed a number of difficulties on the process of organizing the conference. First of all, we had three different audiences:

• More than 250 representatives of small and medium business came to Business Day - owners and directors of enterprises, heads of IT services, system administrators, middle managers.
• The developers-day gathered about 200 software developers, web developers and IT managers.
• Intel courses attended more than 40 teachers, students and graduate students.

We are very grateful to everyone who participated in the conference, as well as to those who helped organize all this chaos in the city of Irkutsk. I especially want to thank our wonderful speakers, for example, representatives of Oracle, Intel, DoubleGIS, Forus, Business Network-Irkutsk, IRK.RU, ADWINS, ISPsystem, AnyChart and others spoke at the developer-day of the conference. Video of all reports can be found on the conference page .



Projector for twi tape supported book on PHP. The tape itself was written by our colleague from IRK.ru , for which many thanks to him.





Traditionally, our events were filmed by Alexander Sidorov (thanks to him very much!). Business Day was very formal and very strict. Developers Day , as it should be, turned out to be loose and very informal.

The participants of the conference took a lot of pictures themselves, and among their photos were girls who would surrender to summer practice in good hands and a troll in a white helmet. For example:

• Stepan Legachyov already in three parts: one , two , three .
• Alexey Sorokin posted photos from the business day and developer day .
• Sergey Sergeev shared his photos from the business day .
• Tamara Prokopyev, the only one who took photos from the round table on testing .
• I almost forgot, right during the conference a live tape from the photos was conducted on a special page (the guys from AdWins tried ).

P.S. We were very pleased to see Peter Didenko from SKB-contour and Vadim Frantsev from Yandex at the conference as speakers.



P.P.S. Having had a little rest after the big event, we are ready to call the Irkutsk people back to the next seminar. November 18 in the small hall of the Institute of Energy Systems them. L.A. Melentyeva will pass mini GeekFest. The purpose of the meeting is to tell and show what Windows Phone 7.5 is. The meeting will be of interest to developers. You will learn about the capabilities of the application creation platform and how to distribute them.



Register for the seminar.
