It goes without saying that this event will truly be my "coming out" and that I will no longer be an anonymous "covertress." Wish me luck.
As soon as my business portrait and name are added to the conference schedule, I will re-post the event here.
If you plan to be in Toronto for this conference, please PM me on Krypton's Slack, I'd love to meet you in person.
