Thank you for having me on the @limacharlieio podcast! It's always a fabulous day when I can speak with the amazing @tekgrunt, especially when we get to gab about something I'm REALLY passionate about, like @SoberInCyber and inclusive events. 💜.

Special thanks to @CEichelkra92073 for the support & Andrew Karnes for being a lifesaver and my 2nd set of token-pouring hands at the event. While it would have been nice to have at least ONE laundry day in the mix between cons, I'm so glad I was able to participate in all 3!.

On the first night of #CactusCon, @SoberInCyber teamed up with the Technology Education Collaborative (TEC) to host a happy hour at the Level One arcade bar in Mesa. The mocktails and the free game tokens flowed, and we've gotten a ton of great feedback about the event already!

🌵 Then we hopped on a flight back to AZ just in time for @CactusCon, where I got to run the registration desk with some fabulous volunteers (photo credit to @BriHaralson - I'm so glad you snapped this pic because I was so busy running around that I forgot to take a team photo!).

An S4 highlight: #SoberInCyber provided the inspiration, name, & recipe for a mocktail served at the women's dinner. Thanks to @Turbo81 & Maggie Morganti for organizing that event! I made some new friends, raised awareness about the nonprofit, & the food was fan-freaking-tastic.

Next was #S4x25, where I got to wear a headset AND use a clipboard as Stage 2 manager. I loved meeting the speakers, hearing their talks, & of course getting to bond w/my AV nerds. I'm grateful to @digitalbond for giving me the opportunity to assist w/ such a valuable conference.

Pics from my "3 cons in 1 week" adventure! . First, @Ember_OT & @SoberInCyber sponsored the inaugural #BSidesICS event in FL. I got to sip on some amazing mocktails at the evening reception. Thank you to @_mikeholcomb_, @demokris, @najoifield, & all who helped launch that event!
