That time I got the chance to be a speaker at one the legendary MoT London Meetups.

A short story...
Three weeks ago, I uploaded a contribution abstract to the MoT website.
Two weeks ago, industrial action by underground staff caused a delay in the London Meetup 5.0.
A few days after the meetup was moved, Gary Shannon messaged me...
"Tom, do you remember the abstract you submitted? Well, I have a space on the re-scheduled event, do you fancy taking the slot?"
My response was, "Sure, why not!"
Five seconds later, the realisation strikes that I have just committed to something I am not prepared for. After much procrastination, work began on preparing my talk.
Less than 1 week ago I stood up on stage and did my first talk at a MoT Meetup.
What an incredible experience and a memory that I will not forget soon!
