Indie Devstock 2016 Conference Highlights
Check out my trip report from IndieDevStock, a conference for indie developers in Nashville, Tennesee. By Tim Mitra.
Venue – Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center
Before we wrap up, I just wanted to note that the Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center is spectacular. It contains three enormous green houses with 9 acres of lush indoor gardens and tropical plants, amazing waterfalls, and even a riverboat ride!
The resort sits on 57 acres and has 700,000 square feet of convention space. Regular tech conference attendees stated that any other conference would be hard pressed to top this choice of venue.
The Gaylord is so large that guests are each given a map. During the stay at the conference every attendee delighted in getting lost going from place to place. The adventure of the stay was certainly a highlight of the conference. “We wanted to make sure you got your 10,000 steps,” says Angela Scott.
Where To Go From Here?
Overall the response to the conference was very positive. The venue was great and Nashville is a mecca for music. It was two days of great talks, great food and that awesome southern hospitality.
- Want to watch these talks? Check out the Indie Dev Stock site, where you can purchase a Remote Access Pass that gives you access to all the videos.
- Want more Tammy and Angela? You can hear organizers Tammy and Angela on Tammy’s Roundabout Creative Chaos podcast, and their joint InvisibleRed podcast.
- Want to meet the raywenderlich.com team in-person? Come meet us at our own conference RWDevCon 2017 in the DC area early next year, and enjoy some intense hands-on tutorials. Act quick because there are only a few early bird tickets left.
Everyone in attendance is hoping that there will be another Indie Devstock next year – so keep an eye out for that as well! :]
