I talk about things that interest me at the moment. My favourite part is the Q&A, and even more so the unofficial conversations during breaks.
Honestly, I prefer workshops to talks, but visibility matters. I’ve been much happier at conferences since speaking stopped being part of my job description.
Since 2025 I’ve been on the WaysConf programme board, where I try to introduce some less usual topics – and they tend to score well with the audience
COMING SOON
This autumn you can catch me in the following event – mainly as a facilitator, away from the blinding light of the main stage.
