More than 200 attendees mixed, mingled, learned and shared with their peers from around the world for the 3rd straight year at PUG Challenge Americas 2013!
The program featured Sunday workshops, an opening General Session from OpenEdge Business Executive Karen Tegan Padir (where Karen introduced Progress Pacific to the world), 65 breakout sessions, the always-open Vendor Expo, "Q&A With the Old Pharts", a somewhat water-logged but no less fun "Festive Event" and Progress CEO (and OpenEdge Fanatic) Phil Pead's closing comments on the future of OpenEdge!
The Coding Challenge -- "Create a Mobile App to Access the Progress Knowledgebase" was won by Stephen Meyerhofer with second place going to Bernd Hellmann and third to Ricardo Perdigao. Progress Software provided an (unlocked) iPhone 5 and iPad Mini as 1st and 2nd prizes!
Presentations & session recordings are being posted to http://pugchallenge.org/downloads.html as they come in (about half of the presentations are posted right now). We hope to have them all by the end of next week.
Planning has already begun for PUG Challenge Americas 2014 -- check http://pugchallenge.org frequently for updates!
Attendees who have not yet done so are encouraged to register for Progress Exchange, October 6 in Boston -- the special $495 discount for attendees is an incomparably great offer! The discount code that we e-mailed to you does not expire but you must use it when you register and it is not transferable!
