Cyc 2025

Oct 2025

I went to CYC last year and had the best time, made new friends, great connections, and networked my butt off. 😅
This year was HUGE. Things felt so different. It was a reunion with friends, supporting their wonderful talks, after hours events, and an interview in the mix (!!). I don't think I will ever forget #CYC25.

Some of my favorite moments:
❤️ Squeezing my friends. The. Best.
❤️ Hanging out with a very specific discord group. 💜 Meeting some members IRL for the first time, spending longer periods of time with others I'd only met briefly. Giant hugs, handstands, repeat outfits, so much laughter. 🤣
❤️ The Torc pre-conf dinner was perfection. The people, atmosphere, food, drinks. This group has definitely made an impact on my journey, and it was so great to joke with them IN PERSON.
❤️ Seeing my #100devs family everywhere! Specifically my wonderful coach and mentor, Leon. I will always cherish those karaoke nights!
❤️ Footbowling?? Football bowling?? With crazy competitive friends. 🤣
❤️ Late nights filled with great conversations/jokes/laughter.
❤️ Harassing a hard-working friend in a soundproof booth...
❤️ Burgers and fries with a certain "internet dad" like we didn't just meet for the first time at CYC '24 almost a year ago.
❤️ Sharing bracelets!
❤️ And so many more! 🥹

I am so grateful for the communities that overlap, learn, support each other, and hangout at CYC. Thanks for the wonderful memories, Danny!
Best summer camp - I mean tech conference - ever!
