Thoughts from day one of CLL19 as a first time speaker
I was fortunate enough to speak at Continuous Lifecycle London (CLL19) this year. It’s the first time I’ve ever spoken at a conference and I found it very rewarding. In the past few weeks, I worked very hard preparing my talk. I had almost expected to be working on my slides solidly right up to the point of speaking. This is probably why I didn’t give much thought to the other talks that I might be able to attend. On the day, I felt more prepared than expected and was able to watch some really great talks. Here are some of the thoughts from my experience of the day. Welcome message - Joe Fay Joe introduced the event and explained that the committee had reviewed more than two hundred proposals and filtered it down to just thirty nine. I hadn't realised there had been so many proposals so they just made me feel even more privileged to have been selected. Around three hundred people were attending.
