Revision 2590011 of "Gnomedex" on enwiki

'''Gnomedex''' is a now yearly technical conference coordinated by [[Lockergnome]] founder, [[Chris Pirillo]], and began 3 years ago. The conference is typically held over the summer on a weekend (although plans for next year's conference predict it to be held in late September). It has been, so far, always held in the quiet town of [[Des Moines]], [[Iowa]], Pirillo's home town.

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 3.0, the theme was Fellowship of the Geeks. A bit odd, the mixture makes up a truly unique experience unparalleled elsewhere.
