KCDC speakers are the best. And we love you all. #developercommunity
It's going to take some time to really digest the #kcdc2022 session feedback from our attendees. We have received almost 2800 submissions to the feedback tool. But from my casual, totally unscientific perusal, our speakers CRUSHED it. This warms my heart after a long five days.

This, as much as anything, is why we felt it was so important to bring #kcdc2021 back last month as an in-person event for the #DeveloperCommunity.

Not only did @egrootenboer and @AngeliqueGr28 leave their Dutch home, spend two weeks in Romania, and then fly through Qatar—just so they could come to #kcdc2021—but then they delivered three talks for us and scored 100% green reviews across the board!

After a tremendously successful last couple weeks, it is highly likely that #kcdc2018 will sell out entirely this year! Tickets are still available for now, but seriously, don't wait until the last minute. We'd hate to miss you!

This year's award for biggest procrastinator goes to @DavidKPiano, who was so last-minute that it was actually 10:01pm when Sessionize logged his submission. Honorable mentions to @CLCondron and @brndnpugh for getting sessions in at 9:59 or later.
