Biggup AI agent experts Fiona Bavinton and Damian Bemben for last night's techtonic talk. Some great practical (and funny) presentations that have certainly inspired me. And biggup everyone who attended! All the pizza got eaten 🎉, but only half the beer got drunk ☹️. More importantly though, I overheard a lot of conversations about potential collaborations afterwards! Which is truly why we do this - strengthen the tech community through professional growth and innovation. BIGGUP ONE AND ALL!
