World Class IT Event Management

NFJSOne is the technical event management company behind the No Fluff Just Stuff Symposium Series.

Since 2001, the No Fluff Just Stuff Software Symposium Tour has delivered over 300 events with over 47,500 attendees. NFJS is known for its attendee centric approach, excellent speakers and technically rich presentations which cover the latest trends within the Java Ecosystem and Agility space. Bring your team to a local No Fluff Just Stuff Tour Stop and join us for a great experience!

The "No Fluff, Just Stuff" Java symposium series got its start in April of 2001 in Denver, Colorado. The symposium director, Jay Zimmerman, hit upon this idea after having many discussions with clients and also through the Boulder Java User's Group (www.boulderjug.org) which he chairs. He found that there weren't any quality Java/Agility conferences that were locally based for developers to take advantage of that were very technically focused. The next step was to research current conference offerings and how to differentiate this symposium series.
