Tulsa TechFest 2009

What is Tulsa TechFest?

* It is a technical conference with currently the broadest topics in the United States, maybe the world. There are tracks covering everything enterprise architecture, software/web development, databases, project management, data security and this year for the first time - graphic/web design.
* It's primary focus is to provide training/teaching sessions that are immediately benefical to the broadest range of IT professionals in their day-to-day jobs. We accomplish this with over 60 national/international speakers and 90 to 120 75 minute sessions.
* A charitable non-profit event organized by Tulsa area volunteers. For the past three years, we have donated a LOT of pizza to the John 3:16 Mission. Last year was the first time that, even though it is a free event, we asked you to PLEASE bring TWO CANS or TWO BUCKS. We collected 469 pounds of food! So let's top that number this year! All canned food will be donated to the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma and all proceeds will be donated to the Family & Children's Services. We prefer to over order than under order for lunch, so we will continue the tradition of donating the extras to the John 3:16 Mission.
