Where’s Progress? Fall Lineup of .NET & JavaScript Conferences & Events

Join us as we travel to conferences around the world to talk .NET, JavaScript and more. Come talk to us about your app development needs and grab some swag and prizes.

While I’m never ready to say good bye to summer (and technically, I don’t have to until September 23 this year), I always look forward to the fall conference season. And this one is shaping up to be busy. We’ll have developer advocates, engineers, and product team members at events in on three continents this fall.

I’ve pulled together a shortlist of places you can find us. At any of these events, you should find someone who is ready, willing and able to talk to you about our .NET (Telerik) and JavaScript (Kendo UI) components, reporting, productivity and testing tools and more.

So pack your bags, grab your pumpkin spice latte (or don’t) and join us at any of these fine events!

.NET Conf
September 12-14 | Online
You might be wondering how you can join us at an online event, right? Well, this year there is a virtual attendee party after the first full day. You can join via Twitch and Twitter to engage with sponsors, other attendees, your hosts – Jeff Fritz and Richard Campbell – and win lots of cool prizes. What’s more, our very own Atanas Popatanasov is delivering a session on day two (or three, depending on your time zone) entitled “Enhancing WPF/WinForms applications with UWP Features.” Also – keep your eyes out for information about watch parties around the world – you might find us there as well!

NDC Sydney
September 17 – 21 | Sydney, Australia
Technically, this would be a spring event in Australia. Join our very own John Bristowe at the event. He’ll be at our booth ready to talk all things .NET and JavaScript. He’ll be able to show what was released in R3 2018 (which will be hot off the presses) and have swag and prizes.

Vue.js London
September 20 – 21 | London, England
In addition to being a gold Sponsor, Progress developer advocate and founder of the Vue Vixens, Jen Looper, will be speaking and leading a workshop. Stop by the booth to learn more about our Kendo UI components for Vue. And as always, grab some swag and enter to win some prizes.  

BASTA! Fall
September 25 – 28 | Mainz, Germany
One of the largest conferences in Germany for .NET, Windows and open innovation, you’ll find Progress at BASTA! Fall in Mainz. Not only are we a gold sponsor, but our Sam Basu is delivering a keynote entitled “State of Mobile Development for .NET Developers” and a session (“Essential Tools for Xamarin Developers”). Make sure to listen to Sam’s talks and stop by our booth for a demo of our latest .NET and JavaScript tools. You probably know this already (and may even be tired of reading it, if you’ve gotten this far), but guess what? We’ll have swag and prizes to give away!

Techorama
October 1 – 3 | Pathe Edes, The Netherlands
This is our first time at Techorama and we can’t wait to get to the Netherlands! We’ll have a booth, swag and prizes so definitely stop by. We will have folks there to show you a demo of the new release features and components and to talk to you about your .NET and JavaScript development needs.

TechBash
October 2 – 5 | Poconos, PA
Held at the Kalahari Resort and indoor waterpark in Pocono Manor, PA, we plan to make a splash (see what I did there?) as a gold sponsor. Not only will we have a booth set up where you can see awesome demos of and descriptions of what’s new in R3 2018 (and of course, get your hands on some swag and prizes), but Sam Basu is presenting two sessions: What can Visual Studio do for Mobile Developers? and Xamarin.Forms Takes You Places! Don’t miss them!

ConnectTech
October 17-19 | Atlanta, GA
Atlanta is beautiful in October. For real. Fall in the southern US brings beautiful weather. So it’s only fitting that a conference dedicated to frontend design and development would be held there. At our booth, you will find folks chomping at the bit to talk to you about Kendo UI & NativeScript (and yes – they will have swag and prizes). We also have several Progress folks delivering sessions, including: Jen Looper (Human vs AI: Build a Mobile App with Vue.js, ML Kit, and NativeScript), Tara Manicsic (Modern Angular Patterns and How to Learn Angular) and Brian Rinaldi (Strategies for Offline Data in Web Apps). Jen and Tara are also delivering Vue Vixens workshops.

jsMobileConf
October 25-26 | Boston, MA
jsMobileConf is a two-day, two-track developer event focused on mobility and the cutting-edge JavaScript ecosystem. The event, which is held in Boston (also a great place to be in October, if you ask me), is produced by Progress so you will naturally have a lot of opportunity to talk to the team about our Kendo UI JavaScript tools and NativeScript at the booth and between sessions. Make sure you catch a demo and grab some swag. Additionally, you can catch talks by Todd Anglin, Jen Looper, Tara Manicsic, TJ VanToll, Ignacio Fuentes, Sebastian Witalec, Vasil Chimev, Nischal Reddy, Anton Hristov and more.

Angular Connect 
November 6-7 | London, England
Touted as Europe’s largest Angular conference, Progress is a platinum sponsor of the event. Come by our booth to chat with our team about Kendo UI and NativeScript. In addition to great conversation, we’ll also have swag and giveaways.

DevReach
November 13-14 | Sofia, Bulgaria
In its 10^th year, DevReach is central and eastern Europe’s premier developer conference. Produced by Progress, this year’s lineup of international speakers is second to none, including our own Georgi Atanasov, Ed Charbenau, Alex Gyoshev, Svetlin Nikolaev, Atanas Popatanasov, Richard Zaslaw and others. If you are at the event, you will be able to chat with folks from the Telerik, Kendo UI and NativeScript teams about web, mobile, desktop and chatbot development. Swag and prizes will be given out!

js.talks();
November 17 | Sofia, Bulgaria
jsTalks Bulgaria is a community event hosted at the Sofia Event Center. In its fourth year, the event is all things JavaScript. Come by and talk to our product, engineering, and corporate teams. Learn more about our Javascript tools, learn about open positions at Progress in Bulgaria, and get your hands on some swag and cool prizes.

VSLive Orlando
December 2-7 | Orlando, FL
We’re a big fan of the VSLive events and are excited to close out the year as a silver sponsor at their Orlando event. Stop by the booth for demos, info, swag and prizes. But also make sure you check out Sam Basu’s sessions – Essential Tools for Xamarin Developers! and Xamarin.Forms Takes You Places!

DEVintersction
December 3 – 6 | Las Vegas, NV
Well, Las Vegas in December will be a lot cooler than it was when we were there in July for Inspire. And DEVintersection is a great show to end our fall season and the calendar year. As a silver sponsor, we’ll have a booth, giveaways, prizes, and fun. We’ll have engineers and product team members on hand to answer your technical questions and show you a demo. But even better, Todd Anglin, our VP of Product, is delivering two sessions – “Making CSS Fun with SAAS” and “PWA All the Things” – and a workshop entitled “Conquering Mobile with JavaScript: PWAs and NativeScript.” Hope to see you all there!

As I mentioned before, this is just a shortlist. You will likely see us speaking, attending or having a smaller presence at other events between now and the end of the year. As always, if you are going to a different show and want to see us there, comment below. We look forward to any opportunity we can get to connect with you in person!
