October 2018

October is gone, but it’s not forgotten. It was a very hectic month. I like to attend as many conferences as I can, and I had to decline 3 invitations in October due to travel. I made it across the Atlantic four times, and took an extended weekend trip with the in-laws. I managed to attend MitelNext and Gitex, and then covered Zoomtopia, Twilio Signal, and Workplace Flow.
