For the past few years GFM has sent team members to attend South by Southwest Interactive (SXSWi) to hone our social media skills. We’ve learned a lot from the sessions – but this year we’re hoping to add to the mix by presenting a session titled “Coding Culture: Programming a Best Place to Work” featuring our founder, Laura Love.
