I was on a wait list to get into this one.
I was on the schedule to attend later in the day but this one fit my schedule a little better.

I learned that design is subjective. I did things completely different than the presenters. I also worked with Actions in detail, which was out of my comfort zone. (But that’s how we grow, right?)

While I did learn, I think maybe I would have gotten more takeaways from other sessions as this one was all morning.

This was the most useful slide: I tried to figure out how to reach Katie and determine where it came from and get a better screenshot but have failed so far. As of this writing the slides aren’t up yet.

I didn’t attend this year, but it was streaming on youtube. I had to high tail it back to my AirBnB, dump my bag and get ready for data night out!
