Learn, Explore, Connect: 19 scholars funded to attend WeAreDevelopers Conference

Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation funded 19 scholars to attend largest European Software Developers Conference “We Are Developers”. Our scholars attended the conference and organised a meetup event with fellow Bosnia & Herzegovina professionals in Berlin.

WeAreDevelopers World Congress consisted of numerous lectures, workshops, networking opportunities and challenges, spread all over 12 different stages, as well as a huge expo area. Scholars had an opportunity to listen and learn from some of the biggest names in the IT industry, such as Thomas Dhomke, Bjarne Stroustrup, Joel Spolsky and many more. The event was filled with developers (8000+) and the atmosphere reminded our scholars that they had chosen the right profession.

During our time in Berlin, we also had a chance to visit one of the fastest growing online marketplace companies in Europe - Vinted. Our ambassador Adela Kadiric introduced scholars to the colleagues from Vinted, includinga long time foundation donor Dejan Menges, who they had awesome networking session with. Azra Velić held a great presentation at Vinted about all the crucial things that BH Futures Foundation does.

Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation sincerely thanks Sead Ahmetovic, the co-founder of WeAreDevelopers conference for providing complimentary tickets to 19 scholars valued at over 350 euros each.
