The first PIRL conference has wrapped up and it was a great success. We had 50 attendees, 5 keynotes, and over 20 presentations. More important, there was a great deal of good conversation, and an outstanding sunset.
If missed PIRL this year, (almost) all the content is available: Both the program (with the slides) and the talks are available online.
We have several things planned for the coming year (including PIRL 2020). Follow us on Twitter, tune into the PIRL Blog, or subscribe to our mailing list (very low volume) for details.
