Wrapping up WWX2014

Silex Labs organized the World Wide Haxe Conference 2014 “WWX2014”, International conference on Haxe the open-source, cross-platform language from the 23rd to the 26th of May 2014 in the premises of the school Cifacom.

The WWX2014 conference’s objectives were the promotion and development of the Haxe language, and to further improve the cooperation between members of the Haxe community by:

• Allowing developers and designers from around the world (10 countries represented) to meet and to present their experiences and discuss their challenges and successes

• Providing the opportunity to meet professionals from development, and digital media to students from our partner schools but also to young people interested in programming

• Reaching a wide audience through the live broadcast on the Internet and through the online videos on our YouTube channel.

The WWX2014 brought together 60 participants from 10 countries for 4 days of conferences with 14 presentations and two roundtables to discuss issues faced by the community, and also workshops and festive evenings.

More than 1200 people followed the live stream of the conference.

All of these people gathered around Haxe let the world know about it with nearly 2,500 tweets between Saturday and Sunday and tons of photos. A true community!
