I love it when conference organisers prioritise their opportunity program. In Sydney next month a bunch of people from underrepresented groups are going to RubyConf. In April over in Melbourne, you’ll see fresh faces at CSSConf and JSConf*.

These programs really do bring new people into our industry. The web community is a wonderful thing and by showing it off to new and interesting people, we’re slowly but surely broadening our talent pool.

Lookahead Search are proud sponsors, we hope to see some big companies joining us next year. 😉
