Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Software You Can Love has historically had interesting talks and is in Vancouver, Canada this year. They haven't released the agenda yet, but I bet it'll be good. Realistically, that's probably the only one I'll go to this year unless I get a job with a education/conference budget. But I'm hoping your question gets answers for more out-there conferences. Paradoxically, those tend to be the ones that give me the most directly applicable ideas and inspiration. Watching talks from HYTRADBOI or Strange Loop and similar get me really excited to program and try things. Conferences that are mainly marketing can have value, but they aren't really the same.
