Southeastern Technical Conferences (2020 Edition)

I love attending tech conferences, and I highly encourage all devs to attend at least one conference in their career. I always leave a conference feeling refreshed about the craft, motivated to apply my new knowledge and feeling more aware of how to do or use things I had not considered before.
