Awesome tech events I attended in 2016

My friend and me at ConUHacks

This year 2016 marks the moment where I decided to go and attend several events, whether I was attending to those alone or accompanied! Even if it’s scary at first to attend tech events when you are alone, particularly if you are a woman, there are so many benefits to battling this fear.

I also participated in several small training events, such as this time at Google MTL for an activity on TensorFlow. I do not list this kind of talks here, it would be too long. All the events I’ve listed lasted a whole weekend or 24 hours in the case of hackathons!
