2015 marks the 30th anniversary of Carolina Advanced Digital, and the 13th anniversary of our annual IT Hot Topics Conference. New for 2015, we have a great lineup of certification trainings, extended social activities, new content, and special guest speakers.
The venue is beautiful and easy to access. The content is driven by the attendees. The speakers are always top-notch. In recent years, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting Katie Moussouris, Chris Hoff, Chris Nickerson, Mike Rothman, Zach Lanier, Deviant, Mike Murray, Shannon Tufts, Johnny Long, John McCumber, Ryan Linn, Tyler Shields, Patrick Miller, and more. The CFP is still open, so speakers for 2015 haven’t been unveiled yet, but the updates will start flowing in the next two weeks.
If you’re in mid-Atlantic, Southeast or Southern US regions, you should definitely come join us for the conference!
With certification trainings being held at the same venue the week of the conference, there’s a great opportunity to maximize your time. Even if you’re not in the immediate region, the discounts and bundles we have are likely more cost-effective than attending a training elsewhere. You’ll get 30-40% off, food, a full conference pass, and great hotel rate.
