The Developer Evangelist Summit is an invite-only Summit where all attendees are developer evangelists, and all attendees are participants.

The “Developer Evangelist” role can vary greatly depending on whether you target “hackers”, startup developers, or enterprise developers - and also varies on the resources of your company - and how you measure ROI. Yet there are many challenges and opportunities that developer evangelists share - and it’s our goal to explore these topics.

When you register, we ask you to propose questions for the unPanel! Though there are panelists, the entire unPanel is participatory - as is the Open Mic talks where you can bring your own questions for other Developer Evangelists.

12:00 - 1:00 Expo Coffee / Concessions

1:00 - 1:40 PM UnPanel talk with questions submitted by all attendees on registering

Possible Topics:

• What does a developer evangelist actually do each day? How much sales, marketing, or PR do you do - or is that the job of the other work groups?

• What online tools / social networks can help developer evangelists connect to developers?

• What are your strategies for hosting your own user conferences?

• Do you have a partner-building strategy for growing your partner ecosystem?

• Who do you look for when hiring a developer evangelist?

1:40 - 2:10 PM Lightning Talks

We will invite speakers who run large-scale hackathons, civic developer initiatives, developer media, and developer social networks to come speak about engaging the developer audience.

2:10 - 2:30 PM Open Mic for anyone to present new ideas or ask questions

You have a room full of developer evangelists and an open mic. Come start conversations about new developer event ideas - questions about how to engage developers around troubleshooting - or even questions on if / when / why to open-source your technology.
