What people say about Shift

Harry Roberts

Consultant Performance Engineer at CSS Wizardry

Shift stands out as a rare gem in a world of cookie cutter tech conferences. Listening to insightful talks from the brightest minds of today’s tech scene while surrounded by the enchanting history of a town built nearly two millennia ago, you’d be hard pressed to find a more inspiring blend of past and future. Oh, and it’s the most fun you’ll have all year!

I love the community here, I love what they have done for the developer community. This is one of my favourite conference to come to – every single year.

It’s a great conference, great venue, attendees are really engaged and it been very, very well organised.

Tobias Ahlin

Shift is an amazing place. I’ve seen some amazing talks here with some great speakers. Also I’m baffled – not how much I learn, but how I learn that I don’t know yet, so I go home from this inspired and keen on learning more.
