Feedback Request

| 2023 H1 | Thanks for letting me know! Disappointing of course, but such is life. Congrats on getting through the CFP process! :)

If you have the time, is there any feedback you'd be able to send me on my submissions please? I'd love to know if there's anything I can do to make a more compelling talk proposal for next time. | | --- | --- |
