Defrag
is the first conference focused solely on the tools
and technologies that are leveraging the "social"
aspect of software to accelerate the "aha"
moment. Defrag is not a version number. Rather it’s
a gathering place for the growing community of implementers,
users, builders and thinkers that are working on the
next wave of software innovation.

Defrag
is being organized by Phil Becker, Brad Feld and Eric
Norlin: |
