We love to encourage our team members to attend conferences and events. The types of conferences available to designers and developers around the country (and even the world) provide a great learning experience for those of us looking to learn more, network, or just hone our skills. Speaking of networking, we LOVE meeting up with old friends and making new ones. Here’s a list of places we’re going to be at over the next couple of months. If one of them is a conference you’re going to be at, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’d love to meet up!

Bellvue, Washington
[i] team members Cam Bass, Laura Mosher, Mike Kopchick, Tres Trantham, and Troy Spruit are heading to Washington for ElixirConf. The conference features two days of training and two days of speakers. If you’re there that week, be sure to tweet at our team and meet up with them!
