The boot of a large car. There is a big fluffy duck toy poking its head out next to three large plastic containers with stationary in them. There are other event items packed into the boot space. It's crammed tight.

The not-so-glamorous side of hosting a software testing conference, like TestBash Brighton 2024, is the load-in! It's 6 AM on day one and this duck is bursting to get out! Can you see if it has a name?
