It's time to fly! 🇬🇧 🇮🇸 🇮🇪 That's two new flags (or if you're on Windows and can't see flag emojis, that's two new ISO codes) I'll be adding to my "places I've been list" as we start the journey by jetting out to London right after I publish this blog. If you're in the area, I'll be speaking at Oxford University on Wednesday at 17:00 and that's a free and open event. And since recording this morning, we have managed to confirm that I will be speaking at a community event in Reykjavik the following Monday morning, and you'll see a link on my 2025 events page as soon as they make one available. No public events planned for Ireland yet, but if you're in Dublin and would like to run something the week after I'm in Iceland, get in touch. Just to round out a big schedule, I'll be back in Aus speaking in Perth at Microsoft's Student Accelerator on 14 April and then it's off to NDC Melbourne shortly after that for a talk on the 30th. Then rest 🙂
