Salvete!
Aedunno, it seemed like a pretty high bar for THATCamp, too. I applied anyway and they let me sneak in. :) I had no regrets. I felt very welcome there and there were some truly fascinating conversations with that slightly different group. I would anticipate a few of the same faces at the Speaking in Code summit. It's a wonderful campus in terms of aesthetics, as well.
#justsayin apply and see if you get to go rather than self limiting and definitely disappointing yerself.
Cheers,
Brooke
