PANEL DISCUSSION + Live Q&A
Panel: How to Make the Future Become Your Present
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look around once in a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller
Software development moves pretty fast. What's new and amazing one moment is old and boring the next. How do you keep up with all the changes, and figure out when is a good time to jump to using new tech?
This panel will include experts who have spent their careers keeping up with the changes. Sometimes, adopting new tech took more nurturing than expected to ensure it was successful. Not every decision was the right one, but each presented new learning opportunities.
