Why Do People Like It?

Feedback comments from Strange Loop 2019:

"I love Strange Loop's interdisciplinary nature. It feels like I see talks there that I wouldn't see anywhere else."

"The diversity of talks, speakers, and attendees, and the depth of some of the content, significantly exceeds that of any other conference I attend."

"The huge variety of topics and products and backgrounds was an inspiring reminder of what computer technologies can do. The ability to write code is a superpower, but it's easy to forget that being an engineer can be about creation, and not just implementation. It was an incredible experience."

"The wonderful inclusive atmosphere and breadth of talks."

"I love the broad range of topics, from theory to ops to art, and always come back motivated to try something new!"

"I love the variety of topics & companies represented across different topics. Also love to see so much diversity in both attendees and presenters."

"So many conferences are about a particular language or technology and I think we tend to get stuck in our little ruts. Strange Loop was an amazing opportunity to surround myself with some of the smartest people in the world and see what they're all thinking about."

"Meeting new people, making new friends. I came away with a network of people to support me on my path no matter where it leads."

"Hands down the most diverse, interesting, and well thought out talks I've been to at a conf, can't wait to go next year!"

"Strange Loop is consistently an affordable, quality conference with amazing attendees and useful talks. Hands down my favorite conference of all time."
