Hi Alistair,
yes it is MS related, it's a conference born out of
Steve Ballmer's famous Developers! Developers! Developers! rant :).
This conference format has been going since 2005 with the first ever
Developer! Developer! Developer! event running in Reading. It has now
grown into a massive event which is very, very popular nationally.
Because of it's national success - 400 places sold in less than ten
minutes for DDD9, the event has moved into additional regional events
- so far we have had DDD Scotland, DDD South West, DDD Ireland and now
DDD North and DDD Belfast.
After the relative success of NEBytes and the fact that Reading is a
600 mile round trip I was eager to bring the event to a location in
the North of England. If you'd like to get an insight to a DDD event

As I've said the agenda is purely determined by the community. Please
don't feel that you can't submit sessions on alternative topics they
might get voted in because people are interested in hearing about
alternative technologies - who knows - the community pick the agenda.
I hope that clears things up a little bit and as always this is an
alternative - for example PHPNW is not for me but DDD is :)
Cheers
Andy
