It will be held July 16-19 at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami, Florida.
Attendees will see demonstrations by FileMaker staff and exhibitors and learn about creating custom FileMaker apps for the iPad and iPhone, building better databases and extending solutions to the web. In addition to increasing their technical expertise, developers can mingle and network with over 1,100 FileMaker enthusiasts from more than 35 countries during the four-day event.

The conference will also feature special meetings and events designed for developers building successful businesses in specific markets, including K-12 education and Latin America.
