Voices
A community-driven conference where you can hear real-world challenges and solutions from practitioners.
The barrier to speaking is low, making it ideal as a venue for first-time conference presentations.
Returned a year after their first visit, gave a lightning talk, and felt how much they had grown (from Bikiniki's report, in Japanese)
Joined as volunteer staff handling social media and streaming, seeing talks up close from the inside (from Yuta Shimada's report, in Japanese)
