April showers — of events

Happy Monday!! As we reach the midway point of April, we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief (if you’ve reached inbox zero...). The winter chill is finally behind us and warmer days are ahead.
 
For those of us in the tech world, this time of year also involves something special: spring conferences and events, including Philly Tech Week (which we encourage you attend, especially with notable Baltimore-area speakers on the roster!). Closer to home, our tech community has been abuzz with activity. From hackathons and meetups to workshops and keynote speeches, there's been no shortage of opportunities to network and learn from some of the brightest minds in the industry.
 
To all of you working tirelessly behind the scenes, we thank you. Your efforts are truly appreciated, and we couldn't do it without you. I’m thinking of the folks on my team here at Technical.ly, especially.
 
As we look ahead to the rest of the year, I can't help but feel excited about what's to come. With new technologies emerging every day, there's never been a more exciting time to be a part of the tech or adjacent communities!
