Welcome to Tuesday. We hope you enjoy your stay! Edit: We have been informed that today is actually Wednesday. We are looking into this, and will report back if a workaround or solution is found in a timely manner. -J
Here’s a few notes for the ramp up to conference week…some for those attending, and some for those stuck at home.
You speakers and attendees:
- High Tea: It is no joke, no exaggeration whatever to say that this year’s High Tea session lineup is the best we’ve ever seen. These are the classiest, the funniest, the brightest people, presenting on the (ahem) classiest, funniest, and brightest topics. We’ve got a great sponsor – thank you Pluralsight!! – a great venue, great everything. Take a quick look at the official High Tea page and get your tix now!
- Pack your stuff. Bring cough drops, power strips, phone battery backups. Remember to sanitize often, and never pass up a chance to charge your devices!
You at home:
- Sorry we won’t see you there. But you might see US there! We’re doing some interviews, a Friday webshow, and maybe a few short bits for YouTube.
- Plus! You can see some of the best parts of the conference on PASStv! Check out the press release, pasted below:
