How can I convince my boss that I should attend TSSJS?

Here are some great reasons to share with your boss to convince him/her that the Java Symposium is a smart investment:

  • Costing nearly 50% less than other industry conferences, and offering a speaker to attendee ratio of 1:9 and over 60 sessions, panels and keynotes, TSSJS is by far the best value for your money. 
  • TSSJS is the first enterprise Java conference of the year - It's your best chance to get your development queue on track, and keep it that way.
  • TSSJS is the only conference that offers a secular take on the key Java topics - With no vendor or open source bias.  TSSJS aims to give attendees well-rounded, in-depth information, so they can evaluate open source and vendor solutions in a practical way, and make an informed decision that works for their projects.
  • TSSJS is the only Java conference exclusively focused on the enterprise.  We don't pad our agenda with information you don't need - Each session has been handpicked by the editorial staff of TheServerSide.com to provide valuable, useful information to enterprise Java developers and their teams.
  • TSSJS has conference speakers who are the absolute top experts this industry has to offer.  Pick the brain of the Java community's foremost experts - With a speaker to attendee ratio of 1:9, at TSSJS you have real opportunities to interact with the speakers you're there to see.  Get answers to your specific questions and exclusive insight into the roadmaps of the technologies you use everyday.
  • You're not worried about where the industry will be in 10 years, and you don't need a high-level academic explanation on the state of the market - You need real skills that will help you deal with today's real development challenges.  TSSJS gives development teams, and their managers, those skills - Practical ways (and code demonstrations!) to deal with new languages, emerging security threats, increasing performance demands and shifting data requirements.
  • Education helps project managers cope with today's IT realities: smaller budgets, fewer developers and looming deadlines. Attending TSSJS is the most cost-effective way to obtain education, rather than spending months reading books and articles, or browsing websites.
  • Investing in employees' education is the best way to reward top employees, keep morale high, and show that the company is committed to people's growth.
