Regular attendees of barcamps and conferences of all kinds know the little secret of hallway conversations, which often contain more information than any session itself. This post introduces the idea of the Developer Walk and aims to spark your interest in helping make it happen.
When I attended a conference for the first time in 2011, I quickly realized that the truly informative conversations took place outside the conference room. Back then, it was in a small pub.

Today, for many of my colleagues and for me, this has become a popular way to meet and exchange ideas. We also happily talk about family, life in general, or wild ideas of all kinds. More than one partnership has come out of those evenings.
During one of these get-togethers, the idea of the Developer Walk was born. The idea is very simple: people meet, walk, discuss, and eventually arrive together at a place for food and drinks. During the hike, interest-driven groups on all sorts of topics will naturally form. There is always something to discuss, present, or exchange.
