Programming, Motherf*cker: Do you speak it? Web Summit Vancouver Afterparty
Tired of Harvard tie-wearing business (pseudo)graduates asking you about your MAU and GTM strategies for your open source project? Or maybe you're sick of being asked if you have plans to incorporate AI for your C code that’s only to be deployed to a low-powered microcontroller? Tired of the eyerolls you get when you can’t have answers to any of them, even if you try to explain to them?
Well, so are we. This is why we are bringing together some of the brightest, most talented technical people to mix, mingle, share ideas, and learn from each other.
This is an event where you’re going to be respected for being a valuable contributor to society, as tech professionals and hobbyists. Whether you are working for a large corporation, or working on an open source project on the side, or not writing code at all, but making valuable decisions on protocols and standards that society depends on heavily, you will be rubbing shoulder to shoulder with some of the smartest folks, people who are on the same level as you.
If you’re looking for something a little more grounded than the usual networking fluff, this gathering offers a refreshing change of pace. Whether you're decompressing from a week of high-concept keynotes or just craving real conversation, you’ll find this space a welcome contrast.
