IDG Engineering Conference Highlights

The Interactive Development Group (IDG) at RentPath recently wrapped up their first week-long conference which was held at our HQ in Atlanta. In lieu of an off-site team building event or the IDG hackathon that has taken place years prior, RentPath colleagues had the opportunity to learn from each other and present on various topics ranging from automation, test, and debugging to emerging trends to process.

Beyond the engineering-focused presentations, the team also spent an evening at the Braves game and competed in office olympics.
