The GOTO Audience

GOTO Conferences are Enterprise Software Development Conferences designed for team leads, architects, developers and project managers. Since 1996 Trifork has been organizing these conferences which started in Aarhus as JAOO. The conference has turned into a worldwide conference and is organized in different locations all over the world. Trifork organizes GOTO Conferences in Aarhus, Amsterdam, Chicago, Copenhagen and Zurich.

The targetgroup consists of software developers, IT architects and project managers. Our international speakers are authors, experts and practitioners across various areas of software development.

Unlike many conferences where speakers fly in and fly out, invited speakers are full conference participants, ensuring attendees and sponsors to interact and engage personally with these experts over the entire duration of conference. This makes a GOTO conference an immersive networking experience where top developers can exchange ideas, experiences and knowledge with peers and thought leaders.
