Highlights of the Conference
Good to see everyone back in person
Great to see some of our Patreons - including a new Patreon signed up on their phone at the booth - thanks John.

Ortus Sessions

• Daniel - Rocked the big room, and someone said he was fantastic and needs a raise, Luis HINT HINT
• Gavin - Full Room - Only 2 people used ColdBox, the rest might use ColdBox now
• Brad - Feedback from an attendee said it was one of the clearest and most organized presentation they had seen in a long time
• Luis - Another packed room, AlpineJS is getting a lot of attention - maybe it will be the Javascript framework for CF going forward.

Ortus Booth

• Lots of traffic at the booth
• Lots of old friends
• Lots of new contacts
• Lots of praise from many devs, they were very thankful for what we were doing for CFML. The very cool part, a lot of those devs were using none or just a few of our products, but they were thankful because they knew it was helping the community at large!
