Community events are smaller gatherings and meetups happening around Config. In my opinion, they’re the best way to meet new people as the groups are much smaller, the vibes are more relaxed, and the topics are more focused. I plan to attend a few events below.
I had a hard time planning my Config agenda across 7 tracks and 5 stages, so I made this visual agenda planner in FigJam. It lays out all sessions by day, track, and stage so you can easily spot any conflicts. Copy it from the Community to plan your day individually or as a group. Here are the talks I plan to attend.
