Voxxed Days Zürich 2023-03-16

Voxxed Days are a series of technical conferences for developers, affiliated with the legendary https://devoxx.com.

Future events include the Voxxed Days in Ticino on 2024-01-19 and next year’s in ZRH on 2024-03-07.

It is locally organized, with 25% of speakers from Switzerland (and 22% female speakers, great!), and sponsored by Swiss IT companies such as Swisscom, Gradle Enterprise (!), ELCA, Julius Bär, Red Hat, Ergon, Adesso, Mimacom, CSS.

Glancing at #VDZ23 🦣 Toots and #VDZ23 🐦 Tweets gives you good quick impression about the event.

All sessions were recorded and will eventually be published on YouTube, just like the 2022 edition’s were.

Some of the sessions I was listening in to were:

Monorepos - The Benefits, Challenges and Importance of Tooling Support by JURI STRUMPFLOHNER at Nx
- Yep.

As I get older, the content of many talks doesn’t exactly throw me of my chair anymore.

What really makes attending tech conferences worth your time are hallway conversations.

I had great chats between the sessions with 2 old friends of mine about https://enola.dev!
