A look back at NEJS CONF, 2015–2019

October 17, 2019 🇺🇸 USA

Originally presented at NEJS CONF 2019 in Omaha, NE USA 🇺🇸 on August 8, 2019

This was, sadly, NEJS CONF’s last year. Our incredible and fearless organizer team put on five amazing events. I wanted to do a short recap of the special things we’ve done at NEJS CONF over those five years as a capstone to our five year run.

    It was truly a pleasure to be part of it. Thank you & all the other lovely folks who put their hearts & lots of energy into making it. Lots of ❤️ to all of you.

    I feel extremely lucky and fortunate to have been able to attend four out of the five years. I'm so proud and thankful of all the very deliberate and hard work you and the rest of the organizers & volunteers put in making an Omaha tech conf inclusive, safe, and enjoyable … Truncated

    When you have this talk was when I became a Zachstan. Giving the closing closing keynote to NEJSConf is one of my 2019 highlights. 🐟💙💛

  7. Zach Leatherman

    We were so glad to have you at the conference. TRY TO FIND A BETTER CLOSING KEYNOTE (you can’t)

  8. Jeremy @ PrDC Regina 🇨🇦

    Not a dry eye in the house. This talk and the kindness you put on display tugged at my heartstrings.

  9. Zach Leatherman

    Thank you for saying so Jeremy, it was really lovely to meet you. I will be sad not to have an avenue like this to meet excellent people without leaving town 😭
