If your job involves converting coffee into code, you should be at DevConf 2017.
This one day event, targeted at local developers, is one of the best ways to meet other people in the field as well as pick up new skills and information from the impressive list of speakers.
Providing the keynote is associate product manager at Twitter, Terri Burns. That’s just scraping the surface of Burn’s impressive CV, and her topic of conversation on the day will be “Bad People, Bad Computers – teaching computers to be as flawed as humans through algorithmic bias”. Like that time Microsoft’s AI chatbot became a racist in less than a day.
