Quotes

...I met an amazing group of incredibly cool people. -- Elisabeth Hendrickson

I went to the CITCON in Chicago... and found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable experience... It's a small, free conference that was organized and hosted better than some large, expensive conferences I've been to. More importantly, it had a great set of attendees which, since CITCON is an Open Space conference, led to some truly interesting sessions. -- James Shore

The conference adheres to the Open Spaces idea and I have to admit I was pretty skeptical. There are no formal speakers or talks but rather semi-organized discussions surrounding the ideas that the participants put forth. Sounded pretty touchy-feely and little too hippy for me ... but I have to say that I found it to be significantly more informative. -- David O'Hara

It was my second experience of an "OpenSpaces" conference... and I must say I really like the format... As another participant said in the wrap up session, you really feel like you're participating in the conference rather than just being talked at by some spruik with a PowerPoint deck. -- Mike Cannon-Brookes

I attended CITCON this weekend - it was great! ... If you are interested in continuous integration and testing then this is the conference to go to. -- Ivan Moore
