Charis Rooda is a Dutch web developer and conference organiser. A few years ago she moved from The Netherlands, where she had a pretty successful freelance career, to Hong Kong. Of course we talk about the move. Why did she move? And why Hong Kong?

In Hong Kong when you have a lot of money you can always have more money. While in Europe when you have a lot of money you can have more free time

We talk about the differences between Hong Kong and The Netherlands, both personally and professionally. We talk about setting up and organising a new conference in Hong Kong, which turns out to be completely different than co-organising an already succecful conference in The Netherlands. And we talk about the work she’s been doing for Smashing Conf lately. Among many other things.
