Software Builders’ Night

This event will be conducted in English

Our Vision

Connect software engineering professionals to foster mutual growth.

Why?

We believe building a good software will satisfy your users, and drive your career to success. 

However, the definition of "good" grows / expands over time. 

To continuously stay with "good", we want to foster the bonding between engineers in Hong Kong to continuously exchange their engineering experience across domains and companies. 

The Mutual Growth

We strongly believe having mutual benefits between the organizers, speakers, and audiences is the only way to sustain the community.
