Topic: Todd CC will discuss the impact of a world with rapidly changing technologies, radical fluctuations in staffing needs, and changes in the employer/employee dynamic and how you can be best prepared for your next job and/or career. During this presentation, the relatively new catchphrase "DevOps" will be discussed as it pertains to job advancement and career opportunities.

With 13 years of experience in technology staffing in Los Angeles, Todd has been through the dot-com boom and bust, the housing boom and subsequent recession, and through it all, has kept a close eye on employment trends in technology. [ imho Todd is one of the top Open Source tech recruiters in the US, I've seen him at numerous conferences learning more about Open Source than any other tech recruiter I have meet. - matti ]
