ISV Con

Sept. 27-29, 2013

Formerly the Software Industry Conference (SIC)

" I've been to five of these conferences and found each one of great value. The sessions were very informative, the evening events were fun, and the opportunity to rub shoulders with fellow independent software authors was priceless."

- A. Belogortseff, WinAbility

" I go to a lot of conferences and I have to say that this one really is my favorite. I look forward to it every year and it's hands-down the friendliest and most productive conference that I attend... I really got so much from the first conference that I can't begin to list the ways that it helped my business."

- Nico Westerdale, BitsDuJour
