Sometimes you must make a hard decision. Next week is a really difficult decision. It's actually made, it just happens next week.
Build or SecretCon or DevSum
I love #CypherCon. #SecretCon is the sister conf in MN. And I'm missing it.
I chose DevSum.
I'll be streaming Build.

At the Pantheon yesterday, I thought about the Enterprise AI session that I'm presenting at DevSum. Next week, I'll explain 5 enterprise AI pillars required to create a strong and lasting solution that goes beyond a demo.

Jaxon and I had fun presenting at #CypherCon. It was his first time and a great learning experience for him.
With the 90's theme, we created a retro clicker game that we'll keep running throughout the event.

I don't endorse lightly, but #CypherCon is truly my favorite conference.
If you are in Milwaukee or Chicago, you should join me next week. You'll get to solve problems, build things, exercise your brain, and collaborate with and learn from others.

It's always an honor to find your name on the MVP/RD wall for two reasons.
1) You were given a prestigious award for helping others be successful in the industry and in their careers.
2) Your name is alongside the names of some very incredible people.
