It takes grit to put on a conference

A woman with a rucksack stands outside a grand-looking door. There is a yellow container with the word GRIT on it.
In this moment: Diana Dromey
Brighton 2024. TestBash.

Diana, me and a few more of the MoT crew arrive super early at one of the stage doors at the Brighton Dome. Time for a load in!

We knew it was gonna be a busy day. We knew it was gonna be a successful day. All thanks to the prep Diana led on to make it so special.

Some say it takes grit to put on a conference. Indeed it does. Luckily, each of us picked up a bags worth from that yellow container.

Team MoT miss you, Diana. Yet we know we'll see you soon enough. 🤩
