NIDC 2020: Ideas from You
👋 Hello, and thanks for helping us out with your ideas and feedback!

NIDC 2020 is going to run ONLINE some time between 5th and 11th October.

It's completely different hugging a computer all day compared to walking around with friends to the pop in to presentations so we're making a lot of changes. Help us make NIDC 2020 a conf that you will enjoy - your ideas and feedback will make a big difference.

All questions are optional and you can also chat with us on the NI Tech Slack. Sign up at http://nitech.herokuapp.com/ and join the #developer-conference channel.
