Special news:
GeekOut – the Java Tech Conference by Geeks
We held GeekOut 2012 in Tallinn, Estonia, June 14-15 and it rocked. Here are some quick stats comparing this year with last year:
| 2012 | 2011 | |
| Attendees | 256 | 132 |
| Speakers | 11 | 6 |
| Days / Tracks | 2 / 2 | 1 / 1 |
| Sponsors | 8 | 1 |
| Food and Beer | More now ;-) | A lot then |
| Tracks | 2 | 1 |
Doubling in size in almost every aspect since 2011 is no easy task – but we’re gonna try to do the same thing next year, plus keep on the lookout for GeekOut 2013 to maybe even to show up in other countries too…. ;-)
That’s all the ZT GeekNews that’s fit to print…talk to you next quarter, if not earlier!
