# 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 [**#CYC2**](https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23cyc25&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED)**5**.  
  
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 [**#**](https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23100devs&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED)**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!
