This year's event features Joe Stagner (Developer Tools and Platform Program Manager for Microsoft), Andrew Troelsen, and many other community leaders.
The sessions and presentations at HDC are focused on content that you can put into practice now while preparing yourself for emerging technologies and the next evolution of Microsoft development. Our mission at HDC is to provide developers with content spanning all 4 major categories of today's development pipeline: architecture, programming, data communication, and process.

We started HDC in 2004 with the goal of bringing the national professional development conference to the Heartland for prices that everyone could afford. With a ton of community support and a dedication to quality and responsivness, we exploded onto the scene and have never looked back.
At our 5 year anniversary, HDC is nationally renown as the leading independent Microsoft development conference. Our attendee and sponsor retention rate is nearly 95% from year to year, resulting in explosive growth and popularity within the development community. Just as important, our presenters regularly note HDC as the best conference they speak at all year.
Listen to what other's say about HDC:
"HDC is by far the best conference I have been a part of. Not only is the content top notch and priced well below the value, but the atmosphere is unbelieveable. During sessions, there is no one wandering around. That just doesn't happen, even at our events."
- Microsoft employee and major national conference presenter-
"I love HDC and look forward to it every Fall. The sessions are great and the networking opportunities are second to none. I have met so many great people and have developed a network of peers that has helped me advance my career. HDC truely is invaluable to me."
- Annual HDC attendee -
Come to HDC08 and see what you've been missing.
