This year's 1517 summit is close enough that I can drive there instead of flying. Past ones have been across the country, so a few hours up the road feels almost too easy.
I'm really looking forward seeing a few of the friends I've made at past 2E camps. A weekend with a bunch of people who actually think like you do is a rare thing. We don't always talk in between, and meetups are rare. But when we end up in the same room again it picks right back up. I think a lot about how lucky I got finding my way into the 1517 world this early. Most people never hear about something like this, and the ones who do usually find it years later. I don't really know what the next few years of my life would look like without the things I've learned from being in this community.
