Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

Something else for today's topic, let's talk about conferences. While writing this article, I was thinking about how much I miss attending conferences in general.
So let's talk about why conferences are so amazing and which ones you can attend during this lockdown.
Conferences are a great way of keeping up to date with the latest techniques and objectives in the industry. They also provide an amazing way to network with people. And they fuel you with inspiration, motivation and excitement to get cracking on something new.
So in short: They provoke you.
This could be very much my personal opinion, but I've heard the same from many of my friends.
Nowadays, we obviously can't do any of these, but Corona brings something good; Online Conferences!
Conferences can be very hectic, fast and overwhelming. My best tip is to make a plan, do some research about the speakers and stand you want to see and plan your day very roughly. It can be chilled with breaks for yourself. You don't have to see everything!
Let me know why you <3 Conferences!
