Future such articles will be closer to the actual event. We’re a relatively new-ish team (between Jodie and myself), so there’s a lot of processes we’re learning/catching up on.
I covered this previously, however we intentionally hosted this AMA with minimal lead time and promotion. For any future AMAs that ...
