1,000 IT professionals across the country and beyond gathered on May 5-6 in Knoxville, Tennessee, to attend CodeStock, a community technology conference celebrating its tenth year. We were a proud media partner for the event.
The persistent rain didn’t keep anyone from enjoying over 100 sessions spread across the two days. Here is our recap in images, including the sketchnotes of the sessions we were able to attend.
