The worst possible conference financial combo: TestCon Europe in October. Full ticket price is 1350 euros. Meanwhile there is no speaker hotel / airfare. I don’t plan to volunteer to cover these costs, only for conferences with <200 ticket prices! Pay speakers or all will be commercial pitches.

My wife is going to the ##TestCon conference in Vilnius tomorrow, and I'll be staying with our daughter for 5 days—alone. I'm excited and scared! :-)

Very much enjoyed @clairereckless talk from TestCon last year on her journey to becoming an Engineering Manager.

Great for anyone thinking of following the manager path
