This is just to let everyone know that I've changed affiliations. I'm no longer working at Motorola, but at Google. From this blog's perspective, nothing changes really - as always my opinions here are my own and not those of my employer.
This was my first experience as a conference organizer. It was fun. It was scary. It was too much work. Don't know if I'll do it again, but I certainly learned a lot.
I met a lot of people, almost all for the first time face-to-face. I listened to a lot of amazing talks. I missed too many talks because of the parallel tracks 🙁
