The annual Developer Conference is the world’s largest
gathering of corporate and independent FileMaker developers,
consultants and trainers. More than 1,000 participants are expected
this year.
The theme for this year’s conference is “The

learn about new technologies, bridge the gaps in their development
skill set and discover what is on the horizon for future versions
of FileMaker software.
This year’s conference will feature content for all

special concentration of sessions on Web services and PHP
development. New for this year’s conference is a series
of special workshops featuring modules from the FileMaker Training
Series, the official curriculum of the FileMaker 9 product line. A
number of business development workshops, aimed at helping
independent developers increase their business opportunities, will
also be offered.
“Last year’s FileMaker Developer Conference was
one of our highest-rated ever, with satisfaction ratings as high as
93 percent– and 94 percent of participants said they
could immediately apply what they had learned,” said Ryan

Inc. “Building on the success of last year, we are
delivering more hands-on technical and business development
workshops than ever before, all of which will have an immediate
impact on developers’ skills and success.”
