INETA Conference
Repost from 17th May 2004
I recently travelled to Bangkok to attend the Asia Pacific Leadership summit for INETA (the International .NET Association). We had an interesting (and fairly intense) couple of days.
I'm quite upbeat about the plans for INETA into the future and think our region really could become the most interesting region.
Most amazing details at the conference were provided by the Korean folk. They have two online communities of developers: one with 32000 and another with 18000. They have a single annual meeting/conference that runs for a full day from 8am to 6pm. They typically have 7-8000 attending. They hold it in the same stadium that held the olympic soccer. The photos of the crowd (and the queueing to get in from 4am) have to be seen to be comprehended.
