The Third Time Was a Charm
We learned so much in the first 2 years and made enough friends that the third year really took off. We have always intended for this to be a small event, so we had set a 200 ticket cap. We were very fortunate to sell out a month early, which freed us up to focus on making the day special instead of promoting. The results were fantastic and we found a wonderful new location.
The speakers rocked the day, continuing in the #frontendconf tradition of delivering awesome presentations and being very approachable. We also focused a lot more on being approachable ourselves because we had so much less stress with being sold out. The Day 2 presentations were really good as well and we even had a small contest for another character.
