## Pagey Goes to Japan!
PagerDuty Summit debuted in Japan this week! Pagey had a bunch of adventures around Tokyo and then spent some time with 500 of their new friends learning about all things PagerDuty! Check out the [PagerDuty Japan Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/pagerduty.japan) for more fun pics of Pagey’s travels in Japan!

## PagerCon
Closer to home, it was PagerCon week at PagerDuty. PagerCon is our annual internal engineering and product development conference, where our teams get a chance to share all sorts of cool nerdy topics. This year we learned about all the regulations that dictate how and what we can send to responders via SMS, the OWASP Top 10, Typescript, and Accessibility, among other great topics.

Folks also got together to do some good with local charities in their areas. Dutonians in Vancouver visited [Makers Making Change](https://makersmakingchange.com/)
