We plan on giving it at BLFC, MFF, and other big American conventions if we're accepted. This is just the first iteration.
Given that I now need $2000 for my computer (or hopefully just the $40 part will fix it), I won't be there either.
I'm gonna bang my desk on my head.

We get to find out after I'm back home if I need a new PC too. We can hit our heads on desks together!
This is so relevant and useful for everyone in the fandom.
Please please please tell us that you'll upload this talk on YT like you did with the fursonas one during EF2017, that'd be so cool <3

I wish! Not planning on recording it, but maybe someone else will.
A lot of these issues plague way more than the furry fandom. While I think past communication could always have been improved (and I appreciate what I've learned since the 2010s), I expect neither anticipation nor gatekeeping to have avoided our current fandom issues, because they are especially Capitalism issues.
Some of the tags pique my curiosity, sadly the sudden change of venue didn't fit my plans so I can't attend.
Will there be some sort of summary or a vod to watch?

i can't attend because i live far away but this is such a great idea, i hope american cons do something like this as well if they haven't already!
We have plans for improving some large American conventions, so I hope our efforts keep scaling up here and abroad. Thanks. <3
Spiffeh! X3
I whispered to Sasha: "Yeah, going for the jugular"

I found this talk really empowering and full of compassion, last night. I love your ambitions for what some parts of the furry community could potentially achieve, in time to come. Best of luck to you and Sasha <3
