Had the great pleasure to meet @cigitalgem for the first time and to see good old friend Trey Ford being an MC at the Mind The Sec security conference in Brazil last week. Good times!
@AlexandreSieira Pls say hi to Trey from me if you happen upon him again! It’s been a minute.
@hrbrmstr for sure! We both miss seeing you in person!

@AlexandreSieira Great to meet you Alexandre. Thanks for the kind introduction.

@cigitalgem loved your talk! Nice to see there is a link I can share to folks now.
@AlexandreSieira It was fun, though I must say that is the first talk I have ever delivered "in the round" which turned out to be harder than I thought it might be!
@cigitalgem yeah, the 360 degrees stage takes some getting used to. I had the benefit of having done that before in previous years, since they've used the same setup before.
@AlexandreSieira I once gave a talk for 15,000 people (all paying attention) in a huge stadium in Germany. That was much easier even though the TV lights were blinding.
@cigitalgem wow, that must have been an awesome experience. Never been in front of an audience that big myself…

@AlexandreSieira it was interesting. I have performed for a bigger crowd on my violin...but that is the biggest audience I have spoken to.

The audience that paid the best attention was a group of 2000 naval officers. When I walked in with the CO, they all snapped to a blinding white attention. Wild.
