Join us on Wednesday, June 5th through Sunday, June 9th at the Jennie Smoly Caruthers Biotechnology Building for the 2019 LambdaConf!
About LambdaConf:
“In 2019, attendees will find hands-on training, in-depth workshops, educational sessions, and deep technical content showcasing how functional programming is solving today’s hardest business problems, in a variety of programming languages, including Scala, Haskell, PureScript, Elm, Rust, and many more.
We warmly welcome you to join us in the beautiful foothills of the Rocky Mountains for a series of mind-blowing workshops and talks and the wonderful company of the many helpful and smart people who gather at the conference year after year.
Deepen your mastery of the craft of writing quality software using functional techniques, and rediscover for yourself the magic of programming.”
Valentin Kasas, a Solutions Architect at 47 Degrees, will be presenting an inspiration talk on speaking at events:

- Time: 4:30 PM
I want to convince you that everybody has something interesting to share with the community, and that the steps one takes to do so are not as big as you might think. In short: I want you to become a speaker. So bear with me and let’s talk about giving talks!
Attending conferences and meetups has become a standard practice for developers all over the world. And so here you are, reading these words in order to decide which session to attend next. But you might not be aware of the sheer amount of work it takes to build a conference or meetup program, mostly because of the scarcity of its most needed resource: speakers. My goal is to make you realize that the community desperately needs more volunteers to share insights and disseminate ideas, and that you have all it takes to help. I will cover all the steps it takes to give a talk, from coming up with a cool abstract to handling the Q&A session. You will see that each of them is within your grasp, that all that separates you from being a speaker is just a little work and a (tiny) leap of faith.
You’ll also be able to catch another Solutions Architect from our team, Oli Makhasoeva at the event recording episodes of her podcast, Scala Love.
