Organizing a tech conference; advice from the pros

Tech conference veterans Sarah Withee and Colin Dean joined Ledge in this episode to talk about their combined dozen years of organizing tech conferences, what they personally get out of it, and the value the events provide when done well. We talked through all the stakeholder groups, how to take good care of them, and how to think about budgeting, speakers, and more.


Colin and Sarah are two members of the Abstractions.io conference team in Pittsburgh coming up in August 2019 where over 2000 software pros of all types will convene for learning, community, and more. Tickets are still available so don’t miss it. And don’t miss this episode for evergreen advice on running great conferences when you get the itch to start your own.
