Tech Events in 2023

Are you the smartest in the room? I’m talking #tech2023 .?

Tired of this cliche? Fear not, so we are. Until it really proves itself worthy of keeping it in check.?

We are social animals, that’s what people more intelligent than us in the field of psychology researched and discovered. This means that we are wired to work in groups and enjoy the company of others, if not actually need it to feel safe.?

If you're the smartest person in the room, you are in the wrong room.

For this year, we have put together quite a collection (or so our editors say) of tech events worth checking out. Places where you shall not be the smartest in the room.

What do tech events mean for you? A place for learning? Finding teammates? Are you a freelancer finding clients??

Whatever your reason or favorite programming language, we gave our best to put a bit of something for everybody. So hopefully this post does get saved and shared *wink wink*.?
