Wow, what a great conference. The theme felt so relevant to these wild times, and the tie-in with the badge was rad.
We would love to again extend our gratitude to all the people involved: sponsors paying the bills, volunteers making everything happen, villages bringing their wisdom, staff organizing everything, and especially our community for coming out and making it the greatest con yet.
Videos will be posted in a month or so. Can't wait to see y'all next year!
What a weekend. Thanks for spending Valentine's with the best bunch of people on the planet; hackers are awesome, kind, and curious and I always feel recharged after a great con.
Much thanks to you, the attendees, and to all of the incredible staff, volunteers, and sponsors that make CactusCon this incredible experience.
SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!
HOOWHEE! What a day. Learned so much and was lovely spending time in meatspace with you humans. I don't think the Agents stand a chance. 😎
