Extra energy and collaboration at MoTaCon!

In this moment: Eamon Droko
The participants in Eamon Droko and my Testing Party workshop today at MoTaCon were extra special. Many of them were willing to try a bit of silliness with testing party hats and stickers to get a creative vibe going. Everyone dove in to try their hands at planning, doing and reflecting on a test party. By the last exercise, we were so happy to see people taking group selfies, celebrating what they'd learned together. I see this kind of energy level quite rarely at conferences! I'm so happy!

I wish I could tag everyone in the workshop in "Contributors" for this moment because truly, each and every one contributed. But there were about 60 people, so I'm not going to try! Thank you all! 

I'm using a photo of one groups list of problems found while testing together. I didn't ask everyone's permission to publish photos of them so I'm holding back from that, but maybe some groups will post theirs here. I hope so!
