Conference recaps sharing lessons learned, announcements, and inspiration.
Android Dev Summit 2019 just wrapped up, and I have to say I had a really great time. I love the 100% Android focus, and I appreciate the direct access to Googlers, devices, tools, and announcements.
Unlike Google I/O, Android Dev Summit is not an overwhelmingly large affair. It’s big enough to provide loads of valuable content and amazing developers, but small enough that you can actually take it all in.

This was my first Google I/O, and I must say, it was quite an experience.
I went in to the week excited for new announcements and to maybe get my hands dirty with new tools/features.
That all happened, but a week removed from the event itās not the big announcements that have stuck with me (though I do have my eye on Android Studio running on a Pixelbook š)
No, a week later I keep coming back to these 2 phrases:
āmake good things togetherā

I’m very happy to say it did not disappoint.

I love going to conferences. I think they are a great way to get out of the office, to stay current on trends in related fields, and to meet/interact with peers. Because of these beliefs, I like to attend at least one conference in every year. After attending AnDevCon Boston last year, I had been targeting DroidCon New York as my conference of choice for 2016.
This past spring, however, I came across a new conference (360AnDev) being held this year in Denver. Initially, it caught my eye because Colorado seemed a bit more accessible to me coming from the west coast. After following the conference website and twitter for a while, I was sold on the potential of 360AnDev to be a terrific event.

“The combination of talented/high-profile speakers, and a schedule packed with interesting talks really sold the event for me”
The combination of talented/high-profile speakers, and a schedule packed with interesting talks really sold the event for me, and I started making my plans to attend. I even convinced some co-workers that this should be the go-to event for the year.
