Learning
Many developers go to meet-ups and conferences to learn
something new, about either a specific topic or just something new that they might
not have heard about. With many resources out there such as blogs and Youtube, we
have many platforms to learn from, so what do meet-ups and conferences give us
that’s different?
Sharing
With learning being a big part of meet-ups and conferences,
there will need to be people sharing content. The content shared by speakers is what
attracts many attendees to these events, but sharing doesn’t just stop there— it
goes beyond that.
Networking
Networking is not something that every developer is fond of, but this communication
between people is what brings so many benefits to developers at these events.
Networking is where we talk about what we do, problems we might be having with some
technology, or even just making new friends that do similar work as you do. This is
where we share ideas, learn from each other and help each other grow.
Collaboration
Collaboration doesn’t always start at conferences or meet-ups but this could be a
starting point where a few people meet and they end up making something great.
