Software Process Advancement 2009 (SPA) is coming up in a month (April 5-8). Here are four good reasons to come along:

  1. With so much competition for jobs right now you need to have as many tools in your box as you can. SPA is the place to get them.
  2. It’s a real hands-on conference. Most of the sessions will be highly interactive which means you’re less likely to find your eyes glazing over after lunch. It’s also relatively small and intimate, which is key as at the conferences I’ve been to the best conversations generally happen outside of the programmed sessions.
  3. It’s a bargain! This year the organisers made the wise decision not to make it a residential conference (it usually is) which had significantly reduced the cost. You can attend the full 4 days for as little as £570 + vat, 2 days for £350 + vat or any 1 day for £190 + vat. Details here.
  4. I will be running two sessions, Retrospective Surgery along with Matt Wynne and Dealing with the Estimation Fallacy.

Hope to see you there :)
