Last week we hosted our largest ever Bazel user conference - BazelCon 2019, an annual gathering of the community surrounding the Bazel build system.
This is the main Bazel event of the year which serves as an opportunity for Bazel contributors, maintainers, and users to meet and learn from each other, present Bazel migration stories, educate new users, and collaborate together on the future of Bazel.
