droidconNYC 2016

THANK YOU!

This is my periodic "The Android community is awesome. So much love and feel so enriched as a person knowing y'all" silliness. OK. Carry on.
— Huyen Tue Dao (@queencodemonkey) October 18, 2016

Here at touchlab, we couldn't agree more with Huyen and the many people on Twitter saying great things about this community. Droidcon NYC 2016 ended a few weeks ago, but it feels like yesterday. We already can't wait for the next big community event.

Thank you to the attendees who were kind enough to join us. To the speakers who are generous enough to come and share their knowledge. To the sponsors who are forward thinking enough to invest in the community. We appreciate you all.

For many, it was a reunion of Android developers and designers scattered across the US and abroad, and we're blessed to be able to bring you guys together every year.

Kelly Shuster, Ibotta There are currently over 1.4 billion active Android devices worldwide, and as Android expands globally, that number is guaranteed to increase. As developers, we need to start thinking now about how to create applications that serve a diverse range of users.

LET'S SHOW SOME LOVE TO OUR AMAZING SPONSORS!

WE RUN THIS EVENT FOR THE GREATER ANDROID COMMUNITY. WITHOUT YOU, DROIDCON NYC WOULDN'T HAPPEN.

These folks are the reason we could make this Android community conference happen. When it comes time to test out new tools or look for a new position, or refer someone somewhere, please remember these great organizations and support them.
