# LaraconUS #2

My second [**#LaraconUS**](https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23laraconus&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED) was just lovely!\
I said it before and I’ll say it again - the Laravel community is so incredibly kind and welcoming. 🥰\

Last year I was new to all things Laravel, and this year I could at least say I’ve got a couple web apps under my belt that utilize React on the front and Laravel/Inertia/PHP on the back. 😅\
Also what an honor to be on [**#LaravelNews**](https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23laravelnews&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED) and yap about my current role. We've come a long way! 🫶

No thanks to the other kind of shipping (🚢->😷) I did the bare minimum “after hours” activities, and was still able to catch up with friends and make new ones. 🥰 Plus finding an excuse to dress up is always fun - thanks [**#laraprom**](https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?keywords=%23laraprom&origin=HASH_TAG_FROM_FEED)!\

Thank you again, [**Laracon US**](https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/laracon-us/), for the inspiring talks and plenty of networking opportunities! (and short jokes!)
