It's not a long drive to Philly, and the admission price is right.

With the help of West Chester University [http://www.wcupa.edu] and
folks from Agile Philly User Group [http://www.agilephilly.org], we have
everything set for the Simple Design and Testing Conference [SDTConf].

Dates: Oct 27th - 29th 2006
Venue: West Chester University, Philadelphia, PA
Target Audience: Developers, Designers, Architects, DBAs and Testers
Conference fee: Free.

SDTConf is focused on providing agile practitioners a platform to
meet face-to-face and discuss/demonstrate simple design & testing
principles/approaches. The conference will use Open Spaces to structure
conversation, improve understanding, facilitate brainstorming and help
innovate.

This conference is not just limited to discussions; we are also
planning an exclusive track for hands-on-sessions. This session will
give practitioners a platform to work on some of key design and testing
issues.

We are hoping participants would come to this conference with design
and testing issues that they are facing day-to-day on their projects.
Use this conference to exchange notes on other practitioner's approach
towards solving similar problems. And, may be we come up with new
patterns to address some of those reoccurring problems.

You don't have to be practicing XP, Scrum or other agile
methodologies to attend this conference. This is about design and
testing. Agile practices already address some of the common loop holes
in this space, but this conference will try to take it to the next level.

Online registrations
[http://www.sdtconf.com/Registration/tabid/54/Default.aspx] are open
now. If you plan to attend this conference, please register ASAP, as we
have only 75 slots in total.

Look forward to see you there.
