In the end of 2018 the number of conferences is kind of high. A great highlight is the Devoxx BE in Antwerp. But it has now five partner conferences in London, Paris, Krakow, Morocco and Kiev. So I decided to have a look at the one in Kiev.
How was it in comparison to the one in Belgium? What was better in Kiev: The food was way better, the drinks in the first evening (Whisky and Long Drinks vs. Belgium Beer) might be considered better, there were more people engaged to help the organizers…
What was better in Belgium: There were still a bit more speeches. While the location in Kiev was really great, in Belgium the rooms were way better for the purpose of providing a projection visible for everybody and doing a video recording that did not disturb the audience.
The quality of the speeches was mostly great in both locations. In Kiev they gamified the event a bit more..
Generally there was a wide range of topics and the talks were sorted into the following thematic groups:
- Methodology & Culture
- JVM Languages
- Server Side
- Architecture & Security
- Mobile & IoT
- Machine Learning & AI
- Big Data & Data Mining
- Cloud, Containers & Infrastructure
- Modern Web & UX
