As you might expect, it’s mostly men.
My last TechReady was TechReady 12, which took place about this time last year. I think it will suffice to say that it was an eye-opening, life-changing experience.
A good number of friends and associates are at TechReady right now, and I’m sure they’ll understand when I say: “Have fun at the sausage party!”
