The Power of Being New

Conferences are special. It is where you get inspired and meet people who share a passion. With the conference coming to a close, what is next?

Jenny will share how her involvement in the tech community has enabled her to do what she loves. She will share some ideas on how, regardless of industry experience, every attendee has the power to build the PHP Pan-Asian community into anything they would like it to be.
