An event with a warm community feel that even first-time conference attendees can enjoy.
Plenty of field-ready takeaways, such as AI-powered accessibility improvements.
A talk comparing validation libraries prompted their own re-survey and a clear conclusion (from hyuga's report, in Japanese)
Ran a first-time booth while touring 15+ sponsor booths for design and pitch ideas (from Nomoto's report, in Japanese)
