Three different JUGs teamed up to offer this event to community, and while it's more Java then Scala oriented, GeeCON housed many JVM-languages throughout it's six editions, Scala included. There are interesting speakers and to make it easier for you to join us there, we offer a discount for all Vienna Scala group members.
If some of you would need to persuade your employers to be able to go, I'm attaching an email we often use for companies just for that (it also contains all the event details and relevant links):
We are writing to inform you about GeeCON, a conference we are organising in Prague, 23rd-24th October 2014 in CineStar Praha – Černý Most.
