This weekend, KeyLimeTie has the distinct honor of sponsoring SocialDevCamp Chicago, an unconference being held at the Illinois Institute of Technology on November 7 & 8 for developers and marketers passionate about the software that powers social networking technology. Having built web sites for the likes of Illinois gubernatorial candidate Adam Andrzejewski, E! News anchor Giuliana Rancic, and even niche social network GimmePleez, we have a definite interest in seeing these technologies play out so we can stay on the forefront of enabling social media on the web.
Our very own Tim Courtney started SocialDevCamp Chicago last year, and is co-chairing the event with Andy Angelos of Get Talked About. It’s been great getting an inside peek at watching the event come together. Peter Morano, our CTO, stepped up and has been coordinating the Hackathon developer contest running at SocialDevCamp as well (There’s even rumor of a KeyLimeTie team entering the competition, so watch out!).
The event has an impressive lineup of speakers. Facebook’s senior open programs manager, David Recordon, is delivering the Saturday morning keynote, and Google is giving a Wave demo on Sunday morning. Area leaders including Harper Reed, Chris McAvoy, Alex Bratton, and John R. Dallas, Jr. are covering both the technical and the business side of social applications in the afternoon sessions, and attendees who want to present will be able to self-organize and talk in the Unconference track both days as well.
If you’re a developer or a social marketer, you should attend SocialDevCamp this weekend. There’s a lot packed into the two days, especially for a free event. However, registration is almost full, so make sure you register if you want to attend. Visit the SocialDevCamp Chicago web site for complete information and to register.
