Not sure if I’ll be able to attend this year

I’d love to see more of the developer side showcased more. What’s being planned for the platform and how to use it. I met with some of the experts on the floor about the updates that were coming last year and found that to be some of the best parts of the summit. Getting to beta test those new systems was also a great perk of summit.

I had the chance to be a presenter last year and it was an amazing experience.Ā
