NSConf 5

Tickets and accommodation booked!

NSConference 5 is looming large with a new venue, but still with a host of awesome speakers and even more awesome attendees (modesty prevents me from including myself in that last category).

This will be the third or fourth NSconf I've attended and each time it's been hugely impressive. For the past couple of years. the event has sold out within hours, but hopefully, the new venue will allow more people to take advantage of this UK based developer conference.

Unlike WWDC, it has no official ties with Apple, but you'll find the crème de la crème of indie Mac developers both speaking and in attendance. Although not a bona fide developer myself, I've always found the majority of the technical sessions "followable" and it really does give an insight as to what goes on "under the hood" in both OSX and iOS apps.

With the conference being aimed at primarily indie developers, there's always plenty of sessions aimed at the business and design side of app creation, with a smattering of good marketing information included as well.

In all fairness, it's not just the sessions that are useful, it's always a blast hanging out with indie developers from both Europe and the US, with more and more US based devs making the trip across the pond.

NSConference 5 runs from 4th - 6th March 2013 (Leicester, UK)

You can check out the preliminary list of speakers and more information over at the NSConf 5 Website.

And no, I don't get any discount or a press pass, I pay for my ticket myself!
