Throwback Wednesday: TestBash 2016 Lunch Tables
19 Aug 2026
This photo is from 2016 at TestBash Brighton. I loved how we had lunch together in big long tables. It partly felt Hogwart-esque with the amazing Dome in Brighton, but also the conversations that are encourage in this format was great too.
Handling food at conferences is hard, especially as they grow and at the bigger scale we are at now, this format doesn't work, but it definitely brings fond memories.
