For the past couple of years I've been hearing about this really great conference in Denmark called JAOO. It's a developer to developer type event. I've had the honor of getting invited to speak this year so I'm really looking forward to seeing if all of the hype lives up to the reputation. Somehow, I think it will. This year's conference is taking place in Aarhus, Denmark. If you don't know where that is...whip out a map!

This year's JAOO conference is covering developing large software systems, agile development, J2EE best practices, design patterns, testing large systems and experiences from building large distributed systems. While this is primarily a Java conference, we're going to see a bunch of .NET coverage this year. It's also the only conference I know of that sponsors an IT-Run...literally a Danish mile.</p>

There is quite the line-up of speakers at this conference so it should definitely be a good time to see some old friends and make some new ones. A couple include: Craig Russell, John Crupi, Martin Fowler, Patrick Linsky, and Floyd Marinescu.

I'm speaking in the Pervasive Computing track doing a session called 'Integrating Mobile Field Data in the Enterprise'.  since I've been doing some cool stuff in that area lately. So if you're going to be attending JAOO, stop by and say hello and if you're not going to be there, maybe I'll post a blog about it when I return.
