Offline event experience#
This is my first time here. There are foreign companies like Intel/Google, it feels advanced. The weather is quite sunny, I got a pack of nuts and a can of coffee.
I wasn't familiar with GDG's events before, but after reading the introduction, I realized that I have attended their Women's event before, seems like the same group.
This event is a local activity that complements the Google I/O conference. The official website is here 2024 Google I/O Conference (io.google).
There are quite a lot of people at the venue in Beijing Interactive now, it's full. I'm wearing a blue T-shirt and sitting in the front row, with a broad view.
I'm interested in the latest Angular sharing this time. The guests are quite senior and experienced, and they are recognized as local translators and maintainers for Angular China.
After the sharing session, I went out to catch up. I briefly introduced the podcast and invited him to talk about Angular, and he agreed. Excited for the opportunity to discuss Angular together in the future.
I also listened to the other sharing sessions, but I'm not familiar with many things, so I only have a partial understanding. I won't go into details.
I'm sitting below, thinking that maybe I can go up and speak, haha, making a wish first.
