Day 3 – Chris – DattoCon 2022

Day 3 is the first full day of conference and the first real test of my liver. It currently midday and I have still not recovered from yesterday. It’s fair to say I am questioning my life choices right about now. I am very pleased that I brought antacids and enzyme replacements.

My Day 4 post which will cover today is expected to be pretty brief!

Ok so Day 3 started with a conference breakfast loaded with bacon, we then all filed into a massive event space where over 3000 of us sat for some very American style presentations.

Not sure how these video’s will work here but here we go…

After the keynotes the day was usual conference stuff, wheeling and dealing and lots of trading gossip for favours etc.

Day 1 of the conference was very good and without going into the commercial details I achieved what I had set out to do.

The afternoon keynote speaker was YouTube legend Mark Rober!

Mark was engaging and really made me look at things from a different angle. I very much enjoyed heading him speak.

From the conference venue we were bussed to a local baseball status which had been rented out for the night. This was put on by the sponsors of the conference. It was a fantastic event for some reason they only covered a limited amount of food, but unlimited booze. This did NOT go in my favour. I drank WAY to much with USA canned drinks tasting hardly at all of alcohol but being very strong.

I made it back to my room some time around 2am local time already feeling pretty horrible.

Here are some photos from the evening

With any luck I will have learnt my lesson and tonight will include *much* less alcohol.
