Elm Town 44 - More Of A Statement Than A Question

Members of the organising teams of all four major Elm conferences – elm-conf, Elm In The Spring, Elm Europe, and Oslo Elm Day – come together to discuss what goes into a successful Elm conference, the lessons they've learned along the way, and what we can expect at their next conference! Thank you to our sponsors, Ellie, Culture Amp and Joel Clermont. Special thanks to Xavier Ho (@Xavier_Ho) for editing and production of this episode!
