A History of Innovation
The Minnesota Developers Conference was launched by ILM Professional Services in 2006 to promote learning and knowledge sharing across the development community. The conference was the brainchild of Farhan Muhammad, renowned speaker, technology visionary, and ILM founder. Farhan had a commitment to inspiring, learning and mentoring — the I, the L, and the M in ILM. When Microsoft discontinued their annual conference in Minnesota in 2005, Farhan wanted to fill the void by creating an event that could bring together developers and tech leaders from around the state and region to share their knowledge and passion for technology.
Over the years, the event has welcomed well-known industry visionaries like Microsoft’s Scott Hanselman and Australian tech entrepreneur Michelle Mannering, among many others.
