Hi everyone, I know this will be a short story, but I want to share this one because somehow I feel like this could be a lesson learned for all of us, especially those who are running a community in your local area.
So what’s GDG SEA Summit?
An opportunity to bring GDG and GDG Cloud organizers from the region together for community-building, learning, networking, and celebration.
Yes, we had many celebrations! 🙌

I learned a lot from you all, from those sessions, and understand how the community can help local developers. Hope that we can meet at another event, keep connecting and networking!
Last from me, meet our awesome team here and for being a nice host! 😄
I hope this can inspire everyone who plans to manage a community and help local developers to build and connect with others.
