The fourth edition of the conference will be held in 2022. More than 300 participants registered for the event, and there were seven well-known speakers on stage, such as Andrey Bankovski from Payhawk, the first unicorn startup in Bulgaria, and Ivan Vankov from Design Technologies, also a unicorn company. We managed to have many interesting conversations with people from the IT community and often the conference prompts participants to apply for a job with us.
