FAQ on the conference. NEXT 2014 Moscow
December 8, we will hold in Moscow a large .NET-conference. NEXT 2014 Moscow . We received a lot of comments in social networks and on Habré, as well as several letters with questions about confessions. In order not to answer several times, I collected the most frequently asked questions here in one place. I tried to group these questions by topic, and the result was a full FAQ.
A: Modern conferences for programmers are sinful with all sorts of Ajayles, scraps and other startups and clauses, and therefore JetBrains and I decided to hold a conference for .NET-programmers, consisting only of reports on technical topics.

A: Moscow, Mon., December 8, Radisson Slavyanskaya Hotel, metro station Kiev
The start is at 10:00, the ending is at 20:00. Please note that this is a monday .
A: DevCon from Microsoft, DotNetConf from Alexander Bindyu, Go # from Nikolay Evdokimov from ITHH. I will not comment on these conferences right now. If interested - go to the links and read.
A: As I wrote two points above, we are not interested in promoting startups, wage markets, flexible methodologies, and “new opportunities for your business.” We prefer to focus on one thing that we understand, know and love. On technology .
A: Not the first. The first was held in April in St. Petersburg. You can get acquainted with its materials here .
A: Yes, and several times:
A: .NEXT 2014 Moscow is a great opportunity for any .NET programmer:
A: Our experience shows that it is easier for young Junior developers to come on a day off: usually bosses are reluctant to let go on weekdays. But Senior-developers, who, as a rule, are family people, are uncomfortable on weekends: wives, children and in general a lot of other things. Seniors easier to agree with the authorities on a weekday.
After weighing these facts, we decided that the adult Senior audience is more interesting to us. So, excuse me, juniors, but we are not concentrating on you.
A: Here is the list:
A: Apart from the keynote from Dino Esposito, we will have 21 or 24 reports:
At the moment we are choosing between these two options.
A: Yes. Will work on any devices. Sold in the same place as the offline tickets.
A: A few days before the conference, everyone who bought the broadcast receives a letter with a link. By clicking on this link, the buyer of the online broadcast receives a Flash / HTML5 player, which will start working 15-20 minutes before the start of the conference.
In the process, the user can switch between rooms. In addition, at the end of the event, online broadcast customers will be able to see all the videos in the recording on the very same link the next morning. True, without mounting and cutting into separate reports, because mounting and cutting take time.
A: In theory, yes. Generally speaking, any customer can deploy the player in full screen mode and distribute this signal on the Internet using any technology such as SOP for free. Such things, of course, we do not track. We do not welcome this, but we cannot do anything about it.
A: Of course. All online and offline participants will receive a link to the video reports of the reports specified during registration. That is, if you are a participant, you only managed to attend 6-7 reports at the conference or, for example, were sick and could not come at all - do not worry! All look at the video!
For those who decide not to participate in the conference, the best videos will be published a few months after the conference.
A: No, it does not. But we will send such participants, as well as online participants, a link to videos of all the reports of the conference. This will happen in the area on December 25th.
A: You can. Or buying a ticket online and looking online, in the record uncut or sliced in 2 weeks. Or, without buying anything, wait a few months until we publish the best videos.
A: Go to the registration form , fill out a form and pay for the ticket.
A: Because rooms in the center of Moscow are expensive, dinners are expensive, etc. One of the most expensive cities in the world, though.
A: Yes. To do this, you need to fill in the registration form, go to the payment and select the item "Company pays" Registering will be asked to enter the details of his company, which can be found in the accounting department.
A: In St. Petersburg, there really were so-so-dinners. We went to this step in order not to leave much in the minus for the money. The people did not like this move, and we received a number of complaints about dinners. Now we are fixed! Dinners will be excellent, sometimes even pretentious. They will provide us the banquet service of the hotel.
Q: Do you want to make money on me?
A: JetBrains and DevExpress make tula. Their goal is to show their products on the stands and collect your opinion on them. Based on your feedbacks, they will improve their tula, add features needed by the people, etc.
This year among the sponsors there are no companies that are active in hiring in Moscow. But Mikhail Samarin will look for 2-3 people in the European offices of Futurice.
A: Tell the management that we are looking for sponsors :) A sponsor can set up a stand and lure people there. We are not particularly welcome, but do not interfere. To each his own.
A: Will. The truth is closed: for speakers, organizers and sponsors. This is our tradition: if you want to participate in the movement - do something for the conference or for the community.
A: Need it! We are looking for volunteers for registration (to distribute badges to people in the morning) and track-ouners (people responsible for ordering and timing). Those who wish - write to me in PM. Naturally, volunteers are provided with a free ticket with lunch, afterparty, souvenirs and other nishtyak.
A: True. Dino will give two presentations: the first is about ASP.NET vNext, and the second is about his vision of modern development.
A: On her site: http://dotnext.ru
A: Personally, I do technical conferences, for example, so that my good friend, now an engineer at Microsoft Bing, when he saw my post on Habré, called me on Skype from Seattle and said: "Dude, you are cool."
Believe me, such words are the best motivation!
Q: Why do we need another .NET conference?
A: Modern conferences for programmers are sinful with all sorts of Ajayles, scraps and other startups and clauses, and therefore JetBrains and I decided to hold a conference for .NET-programmers, consisting only of reports on technical topics.

A: Here is the list:
- Firstly, these are the leading engineers of JetBrains, who will talk about their tools and how they solve technical problems that arise during their development.
- Secondly, it is Mikhail Samarin from Futurice, who talks about Windows Phone and hardware APIs. With him, by the way, I advise you to talk to anyone who is thinking of continuing his career abroad. Mikhail has been living in Helsinki for 15 years already, and their company has offices throughout Europe.
- Thirdly, these are the leaders of the .NET-hub : Andrey DreamWalker Akinshin, Dmitry mezastel Nesteruk, Stanislav sidristij Sidristy, Timur timyrik20 Guev, Karlen szKarlen Simonyan. We are currently negotiating with Igor SychevIgor Sychev and Nikita kekekeks Tsukanov

True, without mounting and cutting into separate reports, because mounting and cutting take time.
Q: So you can buy one for two / three / ten?
