As an Advisory Board member I am proud to post this official pre-announcement for the next, long awaited physical Delphi conference.

Where: San Jose, CA, USA
When: May 13th – 16th 2009
Who: All Delphi developers, let it be Delphi Win 32, Delphi Prism or Delphi for PHP ones.

We will try to get all the known top speakers, from the US and Overseas to make this event absolutely rocking. The conference will be organized by Software & Support Verlag, supported by CodeGear / Embarcadero. San Jose was chosen as location as it is close to CodeGear’s HQ, so that CodeGear staff can show up easily.

Attendees

For now, block this event in your calendar if you are interested. We will keep the price affordable – details will be posted asap.

To register, please go to the DelphiLive 2009 Website – which will go online in the next two weeks. We will send announcement emails through CodeGear’s Developer Network as soon as registration is open.
