    Kendo UI rocks at jQuery UK

    We had a smashing time at jQuery UK! The conference took place on February 10 in the Saïd Business School in the noble city of Oxford, UK, and was packed with juicy content produced by excellent speakers. It was hard to miss the orange Kendo UI booth, right next to the conference hall.  There was a ton of swag (the electric orange Kendo t-shirts are great for cyclists, by the way), and we gave away five Kendo UI licenses! Congrats to the lucky winners, we hope you enjoy them. We figured that people deserved a matching after-party, so we decided to sponsor it!
