I am anxious to go alone!

We are fully aware that an in-person conference can be energy draining.

Traveling to an unknown location and meeting many new people is not automatically a positive experience for everyone.

But our community needs input from participants who are not experienced conference attendees or speakers.

For this reason, some of our participants volunteer as ConferenceBuddies.

They commit to supporting you in attending the conference. They could, for example, meet with you before the conference starts, and explore the conference venue. Or they will be the person you can always walk up to during the conference.

Once you received your Discord invite, head over to the #buddies Discord channel and find your ConferenceBuddy, or offer to be one yourself.
