DevCon conference is not the first year and has already managed to catch the fancy of Russian developers and guests from other countries. A key feature of this series of conferences is its country format, the venue is carefully chosen from the best guesthouses near Moscow. At the same time, all conference participants drove into a country holiday home and lived there for two days of the conference, receiving all the pleasant advantages of these places.
