Venue: Sheraton Bal Harbour Beach Resort
Location: Bal Harbour, Florida U.S.A.
Host: No Fluff Just Stuff Java Symposium Series (www.nofluffjuststuff.com)

A special invitation for Java and Open Source developers from Rod 
Johnson,  Creator of Spring and best-selling author of 'Expert 
One-on-One J2EE Design and Development' & 'Professional Java Development 
with the Spring Framework':

Over the last two-and-a-half years, it's been exciting to see the Open 
Source Java/J2EE Spring Framework community grow from a small, 
enthusiastic group of talented developers to thousands of users within a 
wide variety of end user and vendor settings.

The Spring Framework community will mark this growing popularity in a 
special way with our launch of 'The Spring Experience 2005,' the 
first-ever international event devoted entirely to Spring. The Spring 
Experience is open to all Java and Open Source developers and will be 
held December 7-10, at the Sheraton Bal Harbour Beach Resort in Bal 
Harbour, Florida.  www.thespringexperience.com

Spring's popularity continues to explode among a great number of users, 
with:
(a) adoption in many large enterprises, (b) a growing list of 
best-selling publications,  (c) endorsement by large commercial 
Java/J2EE vendors, and (d) overflowing sessions at JavaOne among other 
events.

'The Spring Experience 2005' will bring together the best-known and 
most-visionary names in the Spring community to provide attendees more 
than 40 technically focused sessions across three (3) full days.

My company, Interface21, is partnering with NoFluffJustStuff, one of the 
most-respected names in non-nonsense technical content, to create a 
high-content, technical event for the Spring Framework community. Unlike 
many commercial events, 'The Spring Experience 2005' was designed by and 
for our Spring community of Open Source and Java users.

This approach guarantees attendees will get the in-depth content and 
access to Spring experts they expect. It also provides a unique chance 
for Spring developers to meet other core Spring developers, and learn 
how to make the most of Spring today, and see first-hand where Spring is 
going in the future.

The Spring Experience 2005 will feature four tracks:
1). Web
2). Enterprise
3). Integration
4). Beyond J2EE

To discuss these topics, 'The Spring Experience 2005' has lined up an 
unparalleled list of Spring experts, who promise to bring attendees a 
wide range of in-depth content, tips, Best Practices and code samples.

Here's just a partial a list of our speakers:

* Rod Johnson, Creator of Spring & Best Selling author of J2EE without EJB
