We believe that keynote speakers should rock your world. They should push you out of your comfort zone by offering you new perspectives, making you think out-of-the-box, and giving you the "40,000 foot view" of things. This is, after all, why we go to hear them. Like all DevLearn keynotes, these are going to be amazing presentations!

Leo Laporte
Chief TWiT of the TWiT Netcast Network
Host of the nationally syndicated radio show "The Tech Guy"
