When we first arranged the GWT.create conference last December, we were blown away by the level of both speakers and attendees in the conference. How could we top that? We did not, you did: the word got around and you sent us even more amazing presentation proposals. With these ingredients it was simply impossible to build an agenda where you would not have a hard time choosing between all the interesting choices.

- Ask anything from the GWT Steering Committee panel hosted by Joonas Lehtinen / Vaadin

You are invited!
What do you think about the agenda?
To make attending easier for you, we are again arranging the conference both in US (Mountain View, CA) and Germany (Munich). We also moved the conference to January to avoid competing with the unavoidable end of the year deadlines and holiday preparations.
