As a public-facing historian, I'm super proud of the work (not always publicly visible) at WHWF to represent diverse interests, speakers, etc, and to generally be an incredibly welcoming and accepting event.
It's quite remarkable, really.

One of the best things about the WHWF gathering is the opportunity to catch up with battlefield buddies. It was a pleasure to catch up with this gentleman today - the lovely Peter Caddick-Adams.
