Converge South

Greensboro, NC—October 19-20, 2007
ConvergeSouth is a dynamic, interactive and truly unique conference. Through a hands-on leader-led approach, this year’s ConvergeSouth focuses on dialogue and participation. The people formerly known as the audience become discussion leaders. Everyone joins in, as panelists and leaders encourage an exchange of ideas, tools and best practices. The conference promotes ongoing conversation online and in real-life.

ConvergeSouth is simply the most affordable conference of its kind (it’s free!). Attend this exciting forum if you want to:

• explore new company strategies
• spend time with movers and shakers of new media models
• interact with thought leaders, influencers and entrepreneurs

You can’t afford to miss ConvergeSouth!

Rails Rumble

September 8-9, 2007
The concept is simple: you and your team get 48 hours to design, develop, and deploy a web application from scratch. After those 48 hours are up, you’ll be judged by the community through a peer-ranking system in a variety of categories.

After about a week of controlled mayhem, judging wraps up and the dust settles. Winners are then declared, and awarded some cool prizes. Visit the official Rails Rumble site for details.
