I’m already up. It’s just after 6am in Seattle, but I’m moving and getting ready to head over to the convention center. The keynote starts at 8, and I need to be there to kick off the conference and introduce the Microsoft speakers.

My day:

• 8:15am open the conference and keynote
• 10:25am – Essential Productivity Hacks with Grant
• 11am – Redgate lunch with the board
• 3p – customer meeting
• 6p – expo hall reception, where I hope to have a beverage

The rest of the conference has me in the community sessions, though not too many. I like that I’m not too committed as I was buried in 2022 and only slightly less in 2023. The rest of the week:

• Thur, 12p – Hobby sessions, come hear me talk volleyball
• Thur, 1p – Community conversations about user groups and events
• Fri 945a – Community leader meet and greet
• Fri 1145a – Emcee the Dev Lightning Talks
• Fri 4p – heading home, well the airport

This is a slightly compressed week for me as I really only arrived at the conference Tuesday afternoon. I spent a little time in Redmond Mon/Tue and then off Fri as I have Sat am coaching commitments at home.

If you are attending the Summit and see me, please say hi.
