The gang is trickling in

It’s been a few years since we’ve actually made it to a MAAWG. We missed much of 2018 and 2019 due to our international move. Then 2020 San Francisco conflicted with a personal engagement. Then, well, pandemic hit and it’s been virtual and then we were moving and … wow, it’s been busy!

We did make it to London, though, and have started reconnecting with colleagues new and old. We also got a chance to take a trip down the river over the weekend leading to a chance to get some pretty pictures.

After a day of touristing, we’re now buckling down to do some hard work. Steve’s doing a training session this afternoon and I’m moderating a panel tomorrow. I’m so excited to be back in person learning from my colleagues. Don’t forget to come by and say hi if you’re here.
