A look back at the events, conferences, courses and meetups I’ve attended over the last few years: what I took away from each one, the people I met, and how every gathering has shaped my view on technology, product and leadership.

-
DeveloperWeek

2019 · Meetups in San Francisco
-
Agile Meetup with Michael Spayd
December 2019 · San Francisco
Michael Spayd shared his “path of heart” in Agile. Two ideas that stuck with me: “I’m the leader, so I’m the biggest problem” and the uncomfortable but useful “You call yourself an Agile coach, but you don’t know the first thing about coaching”. -
Deep Learning & TensorFlow.js · Slack Office

Marketing & Trends Meetup

An evening sharing ideas with local marketing managers about 2020 trends. The kind of conversations you take more from than from many formal talks.
Training & courses along the way
-
AI Course — From 0 to Agents
Certificate of attendance
A hands-on path from LLM fundamentals to building autonomous AI agents. The natural continuation of everything Dreamforce 2024 and 2025 hinted at: moving from “using AI” to “orchestrating agents”. -
Facebook Ads Training — Lessons from a Former Facebook Employee
Practical performance-marketing playbook straight from someone who built the system from the inside. -
Facilitación Gráfica
Visual facilitation — turning ideas, workshops and strategy sessions into drawings that actually help teams decide. A skill that pays off in every single offsite.
Some cross-cutting takeaways
- The constant: San Francisco / the Bay Area as a thermometer for where the industry is going — from blockchain and microservices in 2020 to AI agents and the Agentic OS in 2025.
- From technology to leadership: the early events were deeply technical (TensorFlow, GraphQL, DDD); the latest ones are about how we evolve as leaders to guide the transformation.
- Community > content: small meetups and open-space formats have left me with as many lessons as the big conferences. Informal conversation is still the best channel.
- From CRM to Agentic Enterprise: following Dreamforce from 2023 → 2024 → 2025 is basically watching the agentic enterprise being born in real time.
And this keeps going. If you’re curious about what’s next, I put together a list of upcoming conferences in Conferences to attend · rest of 2026.
