Hi, Spring fans! Welcome to another installment of This Week in Spring! I'm in crazy cool Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. If you're around, I'll be doing a presentation this Thursday the 20th of July, and I'd love to see you there!

Then, after a quick vacation, it's off to Tokyo, Japan, where I'll also be doing a public facing talk, and I'd love to see you there, too!

I'm busy preparing for SpringOne in Las Vegas - have you registered? It's going to be amazing! It'll be our first in-person event since the pandemic, and we can't wait to see y'all there.
