It was a very interesting program and a great mix of things so that’s why I’m here. In general, there’s a nice community feel to it. It’s very easy to mingle with people and overall it has a good vibe.Apart from the content, I find that a very important element to any conference and UKSTAR has that. Being online looking at webinars listening to talks is one thing but when you’re able to mingle with people and they’re asking you questions and you’re asking them questions, I think you learn a lot that way and that is a big plus for the UKSTAR conference.

Just got back home after UKSTAR. I still cannot believe how much fun we had, how many new faces I have met and how many new ideas I have.

It’s interesting to see trends that are coming. A lot of people are talking about the gamer mindset and how that can help us in a new way and there’s a lot about DevOps and you see the trends that are happening in the industry.

It’s easy to get to in London which is good, it has a really good mix of sessions, for example a track session I can bring a couple of my colleagues with me, it was a nice mix of keynotes and workshops and talks, so it ticks a lot of boxes for me.It is really slick and well run. It has a really nice atmosphere, everybody is friendly, lots of great interesting talks to go to.
