They just kept turning up!

Audience members stand and mill about in the aisles of a large, ornate theatre with red velvet seats before joining the stage (out of shot).

02/10/25.

It's Thursday. The time is 16:03. It's Day 2 of MoTaCon. And I've never seen the 99-Second Talks queue grow so quickly. And even after this photo more people turned up.

Such is the power of a 99-Second Talk. Watch someone, feel inspired and join the queue.

Like a rock solid message broker: Queuing ensures that messages are not lost and only delivered when recipients are ready, improving reliability and response times.

Kudos to everyone who took to the stage. 🎉
