How to Convince Your Boss

Here are some great reasons to share with your boss to convince him/her that the Java Symposium is a smart investment:

• Costing less than other industry conferences, and offering a speaker to attendee ratio of 1:10 and over 40 sessions, panels and keynotes, TheServerSide Java Symposium is by far the best value for your money.
  
  
• TheServerSide Java Symposium is the only conference that offers a secular take on the key Java topics with no vendor or open source bias. We aim to give you well-rounded, in-depth information, so you can evaluate open source and vendor solutions in a practical way, and make an informed decision that works for your projects.
  
  
• TheServerSide Java Symposium is the only Java conference exclusively focused on the enterprise. Each session is handpicked by the editorial staff of TheServerSide.com to provide valuable, useful information to enterprise Java developers and their teams. If you're an enterprise developer, TSSJS is your best chance to get your development queue on track, and keep it that way.
  
  
• We have conference speakers who are the absolute top experts this industry has to offer. Pick the brain of the Java community's foremost experts - With a speaker to attendee ratio of 1:10, you have real opportunities to interact with the speakers you're here to see. Get answers to your specific questions and exclusive insight into the roadmaps of the technologies you use every day.
  
  
• You're not worried about where the industry will be in 10 years, and you don't need a high-level academic explanation on the state of the market - You need real skills that will help you deal with today's real development challenges. TheServerSide Java Symposium gives development teams, and their managers, those skills to deal with new languages, emerging security threats, increasing performance demands and shifting data requirements.
  
  
• Education helps project managers cope with today's IT realities: smaller budgets, fewer developers and looming deadlines. Attending TheServerSide Java Symposium is the most cost-effective way to obtain education, rather than spending months reading books and articles, or browsing websites.
  
  
• Investing in employees' education is the best way to reward top employees, keep morale high, and show that the company is committed to people's growth.
