There were lots of good speakers.

• Steph Dyhrberg made it really clear to everyone that we need to step up the game of bullying and sexual harassment.
• Andrew Barrett was good, but it felt like he was saving his best stuff for the workshop. I recommend his podcast by the way.
• Jon Harper-Slade was the star of the "debate" with a his sensible approach to safety and making it clear that a dusty folder save no one.

There were lots of good things being done although it would be great to get some stories from companies that didn't have substantial government grants or a multinational business structure helping them out.

Overall it was a big improvement on the previous year and hopefully this trend continues.
Perhaps some sort of incentive payment to the speakers to get their slides in on time for printing would help with this ongoing issue. It makes it a lot easier to take notes.
