I’m still reflecting from the Codeland conference and what an inclusive and wonderful experience it was. This week, I wanted to share with you some articles written about the conference and encourage you to submit a CFP of your own. (I took the guesswork out of it for you and included a list of open ones below!) Our “Conference Talk of the Week” is about public speaking and only six minutes long. Make sure you check it out for some extra inspiration!
