During TechBayanihan 2024, one of the bits that I really enjoyed was Joel Garcia's career talk. Recuitday's CEO shared his career tip to ABC, or Always Be Connecting. This is a follow-up of that talk.

Thank you.

To my 2 moderators that travelled from the far East and far South of the metro. (Armando Castroverde (CSSWB) and Rico Balibalita)

To Ar-Em Lampa who graced our event, and who first showed me that organic, free meetups can happen.

To Myk Ogbinar who inspired me next, with more free meetups and using CBTL-Ortigas Park as a flexible venue.

To my ex-colleagues Joseph Crisostomo and Nathanael Espino, who reminisced the days of Sykes with me.

And most especially, to the 60+ participants who braved the 36°C heat (96.8°F) and the Manila traffic.

DAXdakan Live #1, our Power BI Pilipinas Community's inaugural face-to-face meetup event, was a success! 🎉

See you on the next DAXdakan F2F event on May 25!
