The joy of talking to speakers in person and sharing thoughts and experiences while having fun at a conference.
I gave two talks last week:
one at SwiftConf and one
at the Check24 office a day later. While the German trains
didn't help, I did have a fantastic time.
For me as a speaker, but for you as an attendee, it's super-valuable to chat with fellow developers about experiences in day-to-day jobs. However, it might be intimidating to approach a speaker at a conference as you feel you're disturbed or speakers aren't waiting for you to handle questions you might have.
I and other speakers I've spoken to agree that this should not be the case! We're all developers, and I would love to meet you and hear your stories. I spoke with developers at SwiftConf and joined them for a beer right after, in which we had a chat for more than an hour. It was a highlight for me!
Take that courage, don't feel bad. You'll notice if a speaker doesn't have time to chat with you soon enough. Make the most out of your conference experience and try to meet fellow engineers.

Besides giving a talk, I also did three SwiftLee giveaways over the past weeks! In every talk I give, there's a chance for you to win a RocketSim license.
I'm happy to announce
Xusi and
Precious Osaro as winners of a SwiftLeeds conference ticket.
Sam Khawase is the SwiftConf giveaway winner, and
Ibrahim Yilmaz won at Check24.
Congrats, you'll all receive more details soon! For all others: stay tuned since September will have an exciting new giveaway!
Enjoy this week's SwiftLee Weekly!
