After the anticipation and excitement surrounding Signals, it seems that the Angular community has taken a brief pause. However, this presents an excellent opportunity to highlight some events and developments that may have gone unnoticed.

For instance, ng-india, India's largest Angular conference, made all the video recordings of their talks available on YouTube. The conference, which took place at the end of February and lasted one day, featured a range of topics. Talks focused on performance optimization, the ngrx component store, GraphQL, and more. With 14 talks delivered by renowned speakers, ng-india provided valuable insights for Angular developers.
