BubbleConf: One day of ideas and action with the most vocal minds from tech, design, UX and business.

BubbleConf is a conference for today’s tech startups on design, development and entrepreneurship by Nedap and Phusion. We aim to bring together developers, designers and entrepreneurs from all over Europe to share their knowledge and war stories with one another. With about 400 attendees last year, we hope to see you at this year’s edition in the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam on September 27th!

Being active supporters of the Rails community ourselves, we’re super excited to have RailsGirls‘ Pia Henrietta Kekäläinen and Floor Drees share the stage at BubbleConf. They’ll be talking about their efforts into getting more women interested in tech via their code workshops all around the world.

Floor Drees

Floor Drees
Floor moved from Rotterdam to Vienna almost two years ago. After working as a community manager for over 5 years she missed ‘making stuff’. She started learning Rails and Ruby in August last year and is now confident with CSS and Rails (and PHP). Nowadays she organises Rails Girls events, works as a tech reporter for inventures.eu and a developer evangelist at usersnap.com AND is the co-organizer of vienna.rb, the Ruby user group in Vienna. She’s interested in anything that touches education, teaching programming to beginners, getting more women in tech and generally the startup sphere. She blogs a lot too.
