The support from this community for our Techtonic event meant the world to us. It's hard to put in to words. 450+ Shopify ecosystem partners came together for 25 talks, 35+ speakers, and uncountable connections. We're already thinking about next time. We can't wait to see many of you at Editions this week and at Techtonic next year... Or sooner. We'll be rolling out the video recordings of all talks as soon as we can so you can catch anything you missed. Huge thanks to everyone involved who made it happen: @cleverific , @gadget_dev , @TSupportHeroes , @ShopPad , @judgeme, @AutoDsTools , StarApps, @RivoCommerce, @bold_commerce, @sufio_com, and @foxsellapp. Until next time ✌️

4 months in the making - event branding with all the fun details: posters, T-shirt designs, engraved lanyards that can be repurposed as luggage tags, builder charms, and a custom scent for a truly multi-sensory experience for @heymantle’s techtonic with the best team

It's been so fun working on the branding for @heymantle's techtonic. Can’t wait to see the event unfold IRL at the end of the month.
🚨 TECHTONIC SPEAKER ANNOUNCEMENT TIME 🚨 We've been working for the last couple months on putting together the most cracked set of speakers in the Shopify ecosystem. There's a lot of names you'll know, and some you won't. All are experts, and all contribute to an epic schedule.

Excited to see these packages out in the wild for tomorrow’s Seismic event by @heymantle. Designing the event branding was a blast, and seeing it come to life with socks, notebooks, mugs, and packaging makes it even better.
Ohhh baby!!! Looking forward to the @heymantle event tomorrow 🔥

The only silver lining around breaking my iPhone camera is using my fujifilm instead. Olympic & Mount Rainier national park last week.

Ahh, it’s so fun to see the event branding I designed for #preditions by @heymantle & @gadget_dev on my feed. @ryanlanglois truly brought it to life.

🥹🥹🥹 stalking down @backboneangels to get them on our cap table was seriously one of the best decisions i’ve ever made insanely grateful for the opportunity to talk and hang this week!
And of course finally meeting @backboneangels founders IRL was a highlight! Fireside chat with @rachren1 about her journey from designer to founder and the impact of @wethosco. You’ll want to watch her and the team eat the market #designconf

“The future of work is family and freedom” Discussing the problematic relationship between workers’ safety nets attached to their employers with @konval and @rachren1 at #uxconf22. What happens when it’s time to sever ties and you’re stuck at a job you hate?

Question for people who like taking photos: what do you do with them after? Do they just live in the cloud or a hard drive? Do you print them? Make books for your coffee tables? Get reminders from your phone about past memories and relive them?
