Some of the most valuable takeaways from the conference were the knowledge, inspiration, and energy I received from other speakers. I must admit that preparation for my presentations was a priority for me. Therefore, I couldn’t manage to hear all the presenters I would have liked to hear. Nevertheless, I am glad that I managed to listen to some of the great speakers.

If you have the chance to listen to an expert from Pythian, it will be based on real experience and knowledge verified in the field. Pythian encourages employees (us) to contribute to the IT community via all sort of activities, including blogging and presenting at conferences.
