“Velocity fills a very important hole in the art

of building great on-line services: a focus on

performance that no other Conference can

match. The 2009 Velocity Conference looks

to be the best yet, with sessions that cover

Web companies, big and small, face the same challenges—our pages must be fast, our infrastructure must scale up (and down) efficiently, and our sites must be reliable without burning out the team.

Velocity, taking place June 22 – 24, 2009 at The Fairmont San Jose, is where to learn how to build websites and services that are fast, scalable, efficient, and available—bringing together people from around the world who are doing the best performance and operations work to improve the experience of web users worldwide. Pages will be faster. Sites will have higher up-time. Companies will achieve more with less. Your next startup will be able to scale more quickly and globally to serve a larger audience. Velocity is the key for crossing over from cool Web 2.0 features to sustainable websites.

“The knowledge and contacts

I picked up at Velocity 2008

have been of tremendous

value throughout the year.

Most interesting were the talks

that had never-before printed

performance characteristics

of Internet Explorer. I can’t

wait for another dose from
