- Speaker Dan Cederholm’s recap of the event.
One track continues to rule. It rules because you don’t have to decide where to go and what to miss. But it also rules because the conversations in the hallways and pubs can be centered around the same sessions. There’s no “ah, I missed that one because I saw ______ instead”. There’s a complete shared experience between all attendees, and that’s a very good thing.

Thanks the link to Luke’s post about your talk–I wish I could have been there for that talk alone.
I’ll try to go to the next AEA that’s in Chicago!
It was a wonderful time – thank you for all the links. I’ve finally documented your resemblance to the monk on the ceiling of the Irish Pub, here.
thank you!
I am now an AEA junkie. If I can’t get work to pay for it, I’ll pay for it myself. This conference was top notch and from the chatter amongst the crowd, it fills the needs of all types of peeps: Newb to Overlord.
Thanks again, Jeffrey. AEA was worth every cent!
Thank you for saying so, Bridget! And thank you for coming to AEA Chicago.
An event apart, Sydney…
I’m just saying.
But seriously, I am very jealous and would love to go to an AEA event. But the commute is a killer
Thanks for the links, Jeffrey. Both of your presentations in Chicago were awesome. As expected, I walked away with a book full of notes that will easily pay for the conference 50 times over.
Awesome site, Matt! Thanks for coming to the show, and thanks for the very kind words.
Scott, did you say Sydney?
