That moment Beren and I spotted each other
Add Memory
In this memory:
Beren Van Daele
16th March 2018, Brighton at the Clarendon Centre. Who's this fella looking all surprised? Of course, it's Beren Van Daele – creator of TestSphere and Riskstorming. We spotted each other on the same row, so of course I took a pic. 😃 Also, look closely at the row in front and you'll see the back of Lee Marshall (aka The Pirate Tester).
