Develop is a very important place – it’s one of the few developer focussed conferences we have in Europe and that makes it very valuable.

A lot of the opportunities that come from being here are speaking to other developers who are doing exactly the same thing as you. And there are some good parties – it’s very much a pleasurable work experience!
