We are so excited to finally unveil the schedule lineup for our Into The Box technology conference. We have over 15 speakers from around the world and over 20 sessions around technology, software craftsmanship and many of our Ortus products. We are also excited to try a new format for our afternoon sessions we are calling: Tech Tasting Sessions.
2016 Schedule
Hungry for Tech?
This year we have a special sequence of sessions for your: our Tech Tasting Sessions will be 25-30 minutes sessions, back to back, culminating in our Happy Box event, where you will then have some nice food and drink tasting sessions. This format will allow attendees to get exposed to other technologies, approaches and speakers, instead of traditional 1-hour sessions.
Please remember that space is limited and seats do go fast, so get your early bird special on this conference. See you in June!

We are very excited to announce that Intergral, the makers of FusionReactor, FusionDebug, FusionAnalytics and much more will be sponsoring and presenting at Into The Box 2016 this June in Minneapolis! They are not only an awesome company, but they know their stuff when it comes to server monitoring, profiling and analytics.
Last year at Into The Box 2015, they mesmerized us with the unveiling of production application debugging. Can't wait to see what they do next.
Intergral is an established provider of application monitoring and analysis tools. Our flagship product, FusionReactor offers realtime insight into your applications, combined with our unique server protection capability - EnGuard. FusionReactor is the most effective tool to monitor, troubleshoot, diagnose and protect your servers and is also the monitor behind Ortus ProfileBox, a ColdBox module that provides profiling, metrics, CacheBox reports, custom object metrics, exception notifications, LogBox integration and much more for any ColdBox 3.5 application.
We are pleased to announce the call for speakers for our 3rd annual Into The Box conference. The conference will be held one day before dev.Objective() on June 14th in the University of St Thomas, MN. Topic submission closes at midnight 12/31/2015.
