I recently attended (and spoke at) Droidcon Boston 2018. I had a terrific time, and thought it was a wonderful event. Here are a few of my favorite parts.
Organizers
- Friendly
- Helpful
- Passionate
The entire team of organizers, volunteers and sponsors were so awesome! Their passion permeated the event and set the tone for a very community-focused conference.
The “EGG” team 😀
