Says they'll be back
A conference that feels like a group chat
Podium is deliberately small: one stage, long breaks and speakers who stay for lunch. You come for the talks, you leave with the hallway conversations.
- ✓One track — no FOMO
- ✓Long breaks, on purpose
- ✓Speakers eat with you
Don't forget it
