I had a lot of fun, and I also loved the craft table filled with stickers, shiny gems, and all things stickable to decorate our badges. Every conference should have this.
A massive thank you to Andy Priestner, @DrBryonyRamsden, Marisa Priestner, Julie Willems, and Andrew Alexander for the incredible organisation. To Amy Theobald for the most entertaining housekeeping announcements ever. And to my panel partner in crimes, Venessa Bennett and Joel McGeorge!

Captcha is the wrong solution to the problem you think you're solving. Not only does it put the burden on people instead of the systems it’s meant to protect—it was never useful, usable, or accessible. Stop reaching for it by default. It’s an outdated, inaccessible mess we need to stop normalizing.
