POV: My real world experience at Watson DevCon - IBM Watson

People say there's a first for everything. A few weeks ago, I attended my first big tech conference, the IBM Watson Developer's Conference. For many, it may not be a big deal, but it sure was for me. I represented a real organization, got an attendee badge to prove it, and even missed a day of my senior year of high school. AOL #BUILTBYGIRLS, a platform encouraging girls to be builders and creators in our tech-enabled economy, offered me the opportunity to serve as its ambassador. My mission was to learn about up and coming IBM Watson technology, promote #BUILTBYGIRLS, and advocate for girls to take their place in the tech world.
