Step into the world of Agile + DevOps East in Orlando, Florida, where for the 5th year, Inflectra has proudly sponsored and exhibited. This active involvement empowers us to deliver software solutions not only at the forefront of technology, but also closely tailored to meet our customers' rigorous demands. Continue reading our recap blog to see our experience at the booth, involvement in the conference, and how this event will help us improve our products.
Arrival and Set Up Day
Our team initiated the trip with an early departure from the DC area. Following a brief flight, we were welcomed by the vibrant ambiance of Orlando International Airport, kicking off the Agile + DevOps conference experience. After arriving safely to the beautiful Caribe Royale resort, the picturesque venue hosting the event, the day continued with lunch by the pool to recharge and soak in Florida's rays before a productive time ahead.
After enjoying a scenic fuel-up, our team eagerly went into setting up the booth and ensure full readiness for engaging with participants the next morning. During our preparation, we strove to effectively showcase Inflectra's mission while maintaining an inviting atmosphere for attendees. Once the booth was seamlessly organized, we took a short walk down the hall to the Welcome Reception for a cold beverage and hot hors d'oeuvres - it was a fantastic opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces and forge new connections.
Booth Buzz and Networking Extravaganza
Upon the commencement of the conference, Inflectra's booth immediately became a hub of excitement. At the booth, we were thrilled to engage with attendees, imparting knowledge on how our products can elevate their Agile and DevOps practices. The passport game brought a steady stream of curious minds to our booth, leading to valuable interactions.
In addition to our prominent presence at the conference, Inflectra actively participated in several noteworthy events throughout the day. To underscore our commitment, we took pride in sponsoring both lunch and the afternoon Networking Break, reinforcing our role as a significant contributor towards the conference and the Agile + DevOps community. Additionally, we supplied a great prize towards Techwell's renowned raffle to conclude day one: a cutting-edge laser projection keyboard (congratulations to the selected winner)!
Before we knew it, we wrapped up our first full day by unwinding at Calypsos, a distinguished restaurant within the resort. There, we had the pleasure of spending quality time with our esteemed partner, Checkpoint Technologies, further strengthening our collaborative bond. It was the perfect way to end a day brimming with valuable and meaningful interactions with fellow attendees and exhibitors.
Exploring SpiraPlan's Role in Healthcare Transformation
The enthusiasm and wealth of learning opportunities seamlessly flowed into the second day of Agile + DevOps East. This time, Teresa Langston, Inflectra's Senior Pre-Sales Engineer, took the stage to deliver an insightful ITP titled "Unleashing Scalability, Agility, and Compliance in Healthcare with SpiraPlan." Attendees were captivated as she showcased SpiraPlan through engaging demonstrations tailored to address unique requirements and interests. This session not only showcased the versatility of Inflectra's solutions, but also offered a profound understanding of how our tools can revolutionize and streamline processes within the dynamic landscape of the healthcare sector.
As the day unfolded, we made sure to make the most of every last opportunity to share knowledge and insights before the conference closed out. With heartfelt farewells, we expressed gratitude to the vibrant individuals we had the privilege of meeting. Until the next gathering, farewell Agile + DevOps East!
Discovering Orlando's Charms: A Post-Work Retreat
After hard work, we treated ourselves to an exploration around Orlando's gems. A highlight from our excursions was an evening in Disney Springs. While there, we had a delightful meal at Wolfgang Puck, watched guests partake in an exhilarating hot air balloon ride, took in the scenery of the waterside shopping district, and enjoyed a break from the chilly DC weather. These mini adventures served as a fantastic way to polish off a successful journey to Orlando, where we had the fortunate opportunity to educate others about the exceptional offerings provided by Inflectra.
Until Next Time!
Inflectra's experience at Agile + DevOps East was marked by meaningful connections, productive engagements, and a touch of Orlando's magic. As we gracefully conclude the conference, we not only carry valuable insights, but also the glow of creating partnerships and collaborations epitomizing the tech community.
