Practical Tech Advice for Young Tech Professionals

Across all three sessions, attendees received practical and specific advice that went beyond the popular, generic recommendations young people often hear about building a career in tech.

The question-and-answer sessions also showed how engaged the attendees were and how much they had taken away from the discussions.
