At next month's Leeds Mobile we have Adam R. joining us. For those who don't know Adam, he is the founder and main organiser of the fantastic SwiftLeeds conference. He is also an accomplished iOS developer, working as a Staff Engineer at Circuit.
Adam's talk will be - From Concept to Crowd-Puller: The SwiftLeeds Journey
"Dive into the story of SwiftLeeds, a gathering that’s become a beacon for Swift enthusiasts, through the eyes of its founder, Adam Rush. With over a decade of experience as an iOS Engineer, I embarked on a mission not just to create another tech conference, but to foster a community where learning, innovation, and connections flourish. This talk is my personal narrative of transforming a vision into reality. From the early days of sketching out plans, grappling with challenges, to celebrating our milestones – it’s a journey filled with lessons, laughter, and a few surprises along the way. I’ll share the strategies that worked, the hurdles we overcame, and how we’ve kept the passion alive through each event. Whether you’re dreaming of starting your own conference or looking to make a mark in the tech world, join me as I unfold the chapters of creating SwiftLeeds, a testament to the power of community and determination."

It was partly Adam's enthusiasm and success in building SwiftLeeds that inspired me to get Leeds Mobile off the ground. So I'm really looking forward to this talk and learning a thing or two from him myself!
Come and join us form 5:30pm, Thursday April 18th at the AND Digital office on The Calls.
