Organiser’s Overview of the ACCU conference
At the conference you will learn:
- How new features of C++, C#, Java and Python are being used by real programmers
- How Lean and Agile software development occurs in the real world
- All about development for mobile devices on a dedicated two-day track
The ACCU conference provides opportunities not just to hear the latest
thinking from leading industry figures but engage in debate and
discussion with some of the most renown expert in the field.
Who should attend?
- Software developers
- Software project managers
- Anyone looking to implement Lean or Agile software development in their organization
One of the key things that the ACCU conference offers in comparison
with other events is community. There is a particular atmosphere that
you don't find elsewhere, and an openness both within the sessions and
outside them. You are generally more likely to end up talking to
complete strangers and learning from them than any other conference.
The ACCU programme is great, but the spaces between the sessions are
just as great.
