Hi!
We've all had to have a good lie down after this weeks Starting Pixel Live! and we're a bit late with this week's round-up.
But what a great success!
Over 200 fixated attendees, 17 awesome patrons, 23 inspirational speakers, 3 stunning SPL24 tee shirt colours, 10 hours of VP content, 18 amazing volunteers!
We are busy with the follow ups, so more details on associated shenanigans to come!
Have a great weekend!
Rob & team
