+The other weekend I had my first experience of Mozilla Festival,
+aka #mozfest.
+
+It was pretty awesome.
+
+I met quite a few people in real life
+that I've previously only known (/stalked) on Twitter,
+and caught up with others that I haven't seen for a while.
+
+I had the honour of co-facilitating a workshop session
+on imposter syndrome and how to deal with it
+with the wonderful Yo Yehudi and Emmy Tsang.
+We all learned a lot
+and hope our participants did too;
+we'll be putting together a summary blog post
+as soon as we can get our act together!
+
+I also attended a great session,
+led by [Kiran Oliver](https://twitter.com/kiran_oliver)
+(psst, [they're looking for a new challenge](https://twitter.com/kiran_oliver/status/1191731144997429249)),
+on how to encourage and support a neurodiverse workforce.
+
+I was only there for the one day,
+and I *really* wish that I'd taken the plunge
+and committed to the whole weekend.
+There's always next year though!
+To be honest,
+I'm just disappointed that
+I never had the courage to go sooner,
