I was the lead organiser of the German Perl Workshop in Hannover ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLiKOSMurci-jUdnXdTGCWHzONJitWpb0z)), I went to NLPW in Utrecht ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@NLPW-ib9fc)), to YAPC::EU in Sofia ([YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/@yapceu/featured)), and it was only logical I should also go to LPW at the end of the year. While I'd been to the UK many times, mostly doing road trips, I'd never really been to London. And because I was stupid, I flew in in the morning and back out in the evening. No hotel. No pub. No social. It was exhausting, but I didn't know any better. The most important part of this was probably meeting Rick Deller in person, who would later convince me to move to the UK.

I returned in November 2017, to give [my first full-length conference talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMYIwT5w4oY}} "About Us") at a conference. I'd run one before, I'd done lightning talks, but I'd never done a proper talk. At this point I'd already spoken to my now employer [Oleeo](https://oleeo.com) (then WCN) on the phone, and the talk became something like my job interview. The conversation that followed began with "when can you start?", and here I am now.

Naturally I volunteered to help with the 2018 instalment, but only played a small role. I did a lot of on-the-day stuff, including the opening and announcements, but not much in the run-up. In 2019 my role was more hands-on, but I didn't drive the conference either.
