Members of Olmec’s Software Team recently took a few days out to visit the NDC Conference in London.

When asked about attending the event, this is what Adam, one of Olmec’s Software Engineering delegates, told us..

What makes this event so appealing?

“The conference was a great overview of the way the software industry is developing. There were lots of interesting talks about the future of machine learning and the responsibility we have as Software Engineers to think about and question what we’re building”.

Were you particularly drawn to any events within the NDC Conference?

“We had members attend the WCF to gRPC talk because migrating from WCF for .Net Core is something we'll have to do. One of the talks on predictive maintenance with the use of machine learning was very interesting and could be a very different avenue to go down with software at Olmec.

There was also a great talk on hiring that was particularly applicable to us right now in hiring engineers.”

NDC Conference is during the working week, how does this impact on you?

“It's a few days to step away from our everyday focus, with time and space to think and discuss how we can improve our software development, as a whole team, on a higher level.

We’ve come back energised and inspired; with lots of ideas and motivation for changes we can make to our process, our code, our individual work and to the team as a whole.”
