Why do people love Rootconf?

Although my talk was nicely poised, it didn’t feel like a story. After the feedback from the editors, I rewrote my entire talk and restructured it such that the flow felt very natural. The editorial feedback was the highlight of Rootconf for me.
Arpit Bhayani, creator of DiceDB; Staff Software Engineer at Google

Three things that come to mind when I think of Rootconf:

• In-depth - knowledge.
• Passionate - editors, crew, everyone was passionate about what they were doing.
• Patient - when organizing a community event, you have to adjust to everyone’s schedules. The Rootconf team was very patient with all the speakers.
  Jatin Katyal - senior DevOps engineer at JioStar

I came to Rootconf to hire people who have a mindset similar to the audience at Rootconf. While my primary motivation was to hire from Rootconf, I ended up sitting in on the talks. I found the talks to be relatable to the problems I am solving at Swiggy.
Vivek Garg, Head of Systems Engineering team at Swiggy

Rootconf feels like a close-knit community for me, unlike a commercial tech conference. The quality of the talks is exceptional. I highly recommend the community and the conference.
Aparna Subramanian, Technology Leader @Shopify
