- 4. @bridgetkromhout land of 10,000 tech clichés
- 7. @bridgetkromhout Image credit: conference basics consider your audience
- 8. @bridgetkromhout first-party events: your employer Image credit: jpl.nasa.gov second-party events: partner or customer selection: affiliation & tech (and you may be voluntold)
- 9. @bridgetkromhout third-party events: unaffiliated with your employer & its direct business concerns Image credit: jpl.nasa.gov selection: may be curated & invitation-based…
- 10. @bridgetkromhout Image credit: jpl.nasa.gov third-party events: session selection may use a CFP program committees & track chairs may be from the community

- 16. @bridgetkromhout “We use tool X and tool Y. We have N monthly active users. We also are awesome for reasons P and Q.” - what did the journey look like? what’s the path not taken? description (not so great) - lacks detail as to why you made those choices - what problem were you trying to solve?
- 17. “When we saw our monthly active users were growing exponentially, we realized that tool S plus tool T, which had gotten us this far, wasn’t going to keep scaling. We examined W and spent several months evaluating Z before rebasing on X and Y; we’ll talk about the tradeoffs for us. We’ll talk about how the P and Q in our culture reinforces and is guided by our tool choice process and implementation. You’ll leave better able to recognize tradeoffs in the X through Z space.” @bridgetkromhout description (better!)
