C’est fini! The second edition of the DEVOXX France conference is bygone and what remains are souvenirs of a great time in Paris.
Meeting old friends and making new acquaintances, discover new and fascinating stuff in crowded conference rooms and passionate discussions during evening lunches, that was the conference for me. According to Nicolas, DEVOXX France 2013 was also “1478 badges, 180 speakers, a team of 18 volunteers, 9 audio-video technicians and globally 99% of satisfied attendees“.
Let me present a retrospective of the conference – in pictures, of course, telling more than thousands words…
Just a small regret that I have…. the fact that I missed DEVOXX UK this year. As member of the Paper Committee I was of course invited, but I opted for the full DEVOXX France version this time. Next year, I’ll very definitively prefer a 50/50 :-)
Enjoy!
