I was lucky enough to score the speaker slot at #5to9Conf hosted by DesignX Community. I approached Preet Arjun Singh and @chantelmegaffin and shared the 5 to 9 achievements I had from my past. They loved the pitch and included me in their speakers’ cohort.

I was super stoked and start preparing for my talk, and I thought if I am presenting something related to a profound colorful culture, my slides should be bright. It was a fun project for me. I delivered, and I loved it, I crafted the idea, collected a few items, and hired Jannat Saxena to implement the design idea I had, and she did a fantastic job!

But this is not the story I want to share with you, and I want to share with you the “kick” I got from this #5to9Conf. I was lucky enough to spread that energy to my excellent students at UC Berkeley Bootcamp (and by the way, not all Bootcamp sucks, I disagree with the common sentiments you may be hearing about the Bootcamp on the LinkedIn, more on this topic later). Thanks again, Preet/Chantel, for sharing the discount code with me.

All three days of the conference was super fun to watch, just like you, I am also confined to my home, and specifically in my Garage Office for almost 10–16 hours a day. While working, I turned on the Attendify platform. It is a fantastic platform, if you are setting up the online conference, must check it…
