Focus Event 1: Iron Dev (Room Exhibit Hall – Booth 793)

Come watch the finale of the Iron Dev competition which features teams of training system developers. During the first several days of the conference, teams have been given a challenge and are building training systems relevant to our warfighters. The final show will be similar to competitive food cooking shows. The show hosts will describe how the teams worked during the first few days of competition in a fun and entertaining way. Meanwhile, the teams will be on the stage making final preparations to their training systems. They will then present their systems live to the panel of judges and audience. The judges will critique the systems in areas of technical precision, use of the secret ingredient, how well they addressed the challenge in their solution, and how bold and innovative they were. During this show, the winner will be announced. The extent to which teams consist of early career developers will be considered in the final score. The competition format will provide a fun and professional development opportunity to help grow future leaders in our developer community.
