As for this upcoming conference, it’s my first tech conference & WordCamp ever! And for kicks, I thought I’d apply to be a speaker on a whim (despite having zero experience going to these types of conferences and having had minimal public speaking instances).

I don’t even like speaking in front of large groups of people but for some reason I felt compelled, so I figured, hell why not right?

If I get it, that’s valuable experience for me. And if I get rejected, then I can just attend without worries.

Well then, attending without worries it is.

Anyways, I’m starting to plan out my itinerary. It’s gonna be a busy schedule for me and unfortunately I won’t even be able to stay for the whole second day since my return flight is in the afternoon. So I wanna make sure I make the best of my time there.
