Kjersti Sandberg and Charlotte Lyng of the Norwegian Developer Conference tell me what goes into organizing four major conferences around the world.

Details

Who they are, what they do. A little about how the conferences started. What is the Norwegian Developer Conference; spreading around the world, London, Oslo, Minnesota, Sydney. How they organize the conferences, finding local partners, crew, contractors, quality over quantity. How the conference grew. Balancing the content of the conference to suit attendees, choosing the conference tracks, choosing the speakers, new and established presenters. How NDC attracts the big names. Why attend conferences when there is so much content online. Timeline of a conference, planning starts a year ahead. An invitation to Minnesota, Oslo and Sydney.
