&lt;p&gt;Devoxx UK 2021 was a great conference that has just passed by. It was my first time ever speaking at a physical conference. I spoke at virtual conferences before. I had the great honor of representing Thanos at Devoxx. I was supposed to do this presentation with another Thanos maintainer &lt;a href="https://onprem.dev/"&gt;Prem Saraswat&lt;/a&gt; however he could not make it. Since it was my first time speaking live, I have learned a bunch of lessons for the next time I will be able to do this again. This post will be about my journey there and my takeaways from it. I hope that you will be able to learn something from it as well.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
