IntoTheBox/LatAm is for all ColdFusion developers and while it focuses on the Box CF products and tools it does cover other topics too. It is December 3rd and 4th 2020. As you would expect for a conference targeting CFers in Latin America, most of the talks are in Spanish, but there are 2 in English and 1 in Portuguese.The event is free this year and via Zoom, so no reason not to pop into some of the talks.
I am happy to be attending one more CF conference this (virtual) year. Just a few days after CF Summit 2020 virtual event is over, ITB Latin America 2020 starts. To be more precise, the conference will be held on Thu, Dec 3, 2020, 4:00 PM – Sat, Dec 5, 2020, 12:00 AM CET.
Big ups to the Ortus team for making this conference happen!
Zoom seems to be platform of choice. After the event is over, all participants will have access to recordings via the CFCasts site.
IntoTheBox Latam, usually brings together developers, designers, entrepreneurs, government agencies, and professionals seeking to modernize their techniques and tools.

El dinero is one of the reasons for sure!
This time it is free 😉
A conference like ITB offers the possibility to acquire expert knowledge in open-source software which was, still is, and will be more and more, an essential part of the business technology strategy in the future.
