International track reports

Becoming an international conference, DevCon 2014 should offer relevant content in English. And we are pleased to inform you that within the framework of the conference, an international English-language track of reports has been formed with all the other tracks that the other tracks have: recording each report and broadcasting live performances to the whole world. At the same time, we will organize simultaneous video broadcast in two languages: original English and with a live translation into Russian.

Of course, the remarkable opening of the conference, the plenary report, will also be broadcast in two languages, with translation into English for our international audience.
