About this event


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.

Speakers

  1. Receive feedbacks from your audience to improve your presentation skills.
  2. Get the source of motivation to dive deeper and consolidate related knowledges into a lightning presentation.
  3. Grow your reputation in the software engineering industry. 
  4. Connect more passionate professionals who share the same vision.
Audience

  1. Learn from the presentations shared by the speakers, i.e. the design process, thought leadership, problem solving techniques, etc.
  2. Get more software engineering directions to dive deep and avoid pitfalls
  3. Converge the learning and create positive impacts in your organization
  4. Connect more passionate professionals who share the same vision.
