Into the Box Super Early Bird ticket pricing is over, but you can still get the Early Bird. Last week we had more episodes of the Modernize or Die Podcast - Conference Edition for ITB 2022 and announced the first 2 groups of Pre-Conference Track for Into the Box.

This week we're going to be announcing more speakers for the Pre Conference Track as well as the last chance for the Early Bird Tickets

Announcing - Pre-Conference - First set of Speakers Announced

Due to Covid and other reasons, some of the CFML Community Speakers will not be able to make this years Into the Box - but we wanted to include them anyways. To do that, last week we announced a Pre-Conference / 3rd Track for ITB. Read more about it here. Today we're happy to announce our first set of speakers for our Pre-Conference Track.

ITB 2022 Podcast Series - Workshop - Async Programming & Scheduling with Luis Majano & Eric Peterson

This podcast is a special podcast for attendees or undecided attendees, to get a view of what the workshop has to offer. Luis Majano and Eric Peterson talk about their upcoming workshop at Into the Box, he talks about who the ideal audience is, and why they should attend. He talks about what will the workshop cover, the requirements for the workshop, and what he hopes the attendees will leave the workshop with. In this workshop, attendees will explore the concepts of asynchronous and parallel programming with the ColdBox Async Manager and Java’s Completable Futures APIs. They will explore the concept of async computations, async pipelines, exception handling, scheduling and so much more. Pain medication is included!

Announcing - Pre-Conference - Second set of Speakers Announced

Due to Covid and other reasons, some of the CFML Community Speakers will not be able to make this years Into the Box - but we wanted to include them anyways. To do that, last week we announced a Pre-Conference / 3rd Track for ITB. Read more about it here. Today we're happy to announce our second set of speakers for our Pre-Conference Track.

http://www.intothebox.org/blog/announcing-pre-conference-second-set-of-speakers-announced

After much discussion and debate, we eventually decided, in the efforts to maximize content, and ensuring we have speakers in front of attendees, the best option was to host a third track for the conference, and we’re calling it the pre-conference track.

The format:

• Dev Week format - Mon Aug 29th - Friday Sept 2nd. Each day will have 2 sessions, 11am CDT and 2pm CDT
• Sessions will be live, with Q&A via Zoom for ITB Attendee ticket holders.
• The recorded sessions will be provided to the ITB attendees for download to watch prior to the conference (on the plane for example) in case they cannot attend the live session.
• We will also have a viewing area on site, which will act like a 3rd track at the conference itself.

Confirmed Speakers ( more to come )

• Mark Takata
• Charlie Arehart
• Ray Camden
• Matthew Clemente
• Brian Rinaldi
• Kai Koenig
