2.	Stack exposure - At CONNECT.TECH we don't just look at the full stack, but all the possibilities. You'll find out which technologies work best together and which have the capabilities you need.

5.	The Hallway Track - A developer conference is not just about the sessions, its about the people. At CONNECT TECH the hallway track is where have conversations and you gain knowledge and contacts that’s often as valuable as the sessions you attend. See Venkat Subramaniam wandering by?
