Revision 15750944 of "Gnomedex" on enwiki'''Gnomedex''' is a now yearly technical conference coordinated by [[Lockergnome]] founder, [[Chris Pirillo]], and began 4 years ago (it is not affiliated with the [[desktop environment]] [[GNOME]]). The conference is typically held over the summer on a weekend, though this year it will be held September 30th through October 2nd. It has been traditionally held in the quiet town of [[Des Moines, Iowa|Des Moines]], [[Iowa]], Pirillo's home town, but due to its 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 4.0, the theme is "Taking the 'con' out of Convention". A bit odd, the mixture makes up a truly unique experience unparalleled elsewhere.
