I attended UIKonf for the first time. I went there from Tokyo by 12-hour flight, but it was worth spending much time for me😄

(This is the same post as the one I wrote on Medium.)

Thoughts

  • Social events on the first day (before the conference) were great because it could be a good topic to start conversations with other attendees.
  • Some events (like kayaking & ambassador dinner) were held with a small group of people. I liked it because I could communicate with them naturally.
  • All talks were sophisticated and the topics were so diverse. I got lots of inspiration from talks👍
  • I could give a presentation about app architecture by manual dependency injection at the unconference. It was a great experience.✨ Thank you, listeners! I reused these slides which I used in a Japanese meetup before.
  • The weather & temperature was great there☀️
  • I also really enjoyed some sightseeing, food and staying in Berlin😄 which I didn’t write much about here.

If you are interested in the iOS developer community and comfortable conferences, I recommend you to attend UIKonf next year😄
