Play@Develop: Fun and Games with Skillsearch and Glowmade
One of the highlights of Wednesday afternoon was the Play@Develop event hosted by Glowmade and us. This unique event brings attendees together for fun in the sun. It was the perfect break from the hustle and bustle of the conference. This charity event features a huge raffle in aid of SpecialEffect. It was a fantastic place to forge new connections and enjoy some drinks amid the conference while raising money for charity. Check out our blog about the event here!
