Quick notes:

  • Yes, this is 100% me typing by hand. I’m not using any AI transcription tools. Barely even autocorrect or spellcheck. That’ll be clear when you see the endless typos.
  • Plan A for breakout sessions is listed. I expect these to be super-popular sessions, so I might not get a seat and have to pivot.
  • I’m not approving any edit or share requests. File > Make a Copy if you want your own to play with AI or something.

I'll send out the "Notes are Live" email with the link to each session on Saturday the 21st! Keep an eye on your inbox!
