The final months of 2023 are packed with can't-miss events for tech professionals. From global conferences to intimate meetups, there are countless opportunities to engage with the industry's sharpest minds.
While massive gatherings AWS re:Invent deliver stellar content, attending smaller events can provide unique access and insights. Keep an eye out for demo days spotlighting innovative startups in specialized fields like women-led companies or Black founders.
The regional AI & Big Data Expo, Cyber Security & Cloud Expo, and IoT Tech Expo in London are prime spots to network with European experts and explore key technologies up close.
And for those interested in startups and entrepreneurship, don't miss the virtual Google for Startups Accelerator demo days.
When evaluating events, consider these factors:
• Relevant topics - Will you learn something useful?
• Impressive speakers - Who are the experts presenting?
• Intimate access - Can you easily connect with speakers and attendees?
• Location - Is it local or worth traveling to?
• Cost - Is it affordable or worth the investment?
And if you can't make a conference live but still want some kind of interaction with an expert to get your important questions answered, look out for monday.com's Reddit AMA on November 21st (10AM - 11:30AM EST). You can ask questions in advance and have them answered live by experts.
