Question and answer sessions for viewers online at DevCon

Next week our annual and already the fifth conference for developers - DevCon 2015 will take place. By tradition, for those who could not come in person, we will organize an online broadcast of all the tracks .



This year we decided to expand our interaction with those who look at us on this side of the screens so that you can also “communicate” with the experts who came to the conference. The participant on the site can go to the speaker and ask the question directly, and for the audience online only the opportunity to ask something in the chat was available and hope that he would be answered with something sane. We thought it was bad, and therefore added a new format to the conference.

New format

So, especially for those who will watch us in the broadcast, we added 6 QA-sessions with conference experts : one with the opening participants and five sessions in accordance with the conference topics:

Question and answer sessions will be held between presentations, so you may not be afraid to miss something going in parallel. The task of the panelists: to answer those questions that concern you.

How to ask a question?

If you want us to ask your question to the experts, you have several options for how to ask it:

1. On the conference website through a special form (registration is required). You can also vote for your favorite question.

2. In the comments to this post.

3. On twitter with the hashtag #msdevcon

4. Chatting during the conference

How are questions selected?

First, who does it. I do this, so all claims can be voiced to me :)

Secondly, as: I consider, first of all, two parameters:

• The relevance of the question on the subject (client development, cloud development, languages ​​and tools, game development, corporate development) and the expertise of speakers
• interest in answering the question from the target audience (pluses on Habré, retweets and adding to favorites on Twitter, votes on the site).

Due to time constraints, most likely we will not have time to ask all the questions, but after the conference we will make a separate post with answers.



We are waiting for your questions and a nice DevCon!
