Gnomedex
'''Gnomedex''' is a now yearly technical conference coordinated by [[Lockergnome]] founder, [[Chris Pirillo]], and began 34 years ago (it is not affiliated with the [[desktop environment]] [[GNOME]]). The conference is typically held over the summer on a weekend, (although plans for next year's conference predict it tothis year it will be held in late September). It has been, so far, always 30th through October 2nd. It has been traditionally held in the quiet town of [[Des Moines]], [[Iowa]], Pirillo's home town, but due to it's size, has moved to [[Lake Tahoe]].

The conference consists of parties, a keynote by Chris Pirillo, and presentations by various leaders in tech-centered fields. At the most recent conference, notable speakers included [[Rob Malda]] of [[Slashdot]] fame, [[Tim O'Reilly]], and [[John C. Dvorak]], as well as others.

Started as a "a tech conference for everyone else", what Gnomedex is exactly about is not really known. It is fun, informative and generally enjoyable. Topics are vast, but activities are usually centered around a theme; this year, at Gnomedex 34.0, the theme was Fellowship of the Geeksis "Taking the 'con' out of Convention". A bit odd, the mixture makes up a truly unique experience unparalleled elsewhere.
