Hi everyone. I wanted to start this thread to round-up all of the USD-related recordings, slide decks, and resources from the recent conferences. I think it will be helpful for those that were not able to attend and it’d nice to have one place to refer to when you want to revisit.

Thanks @jesswang! I can’t edit the original post to add the link at the top anymore because the post is too old. It’s configurable, but it makes sense why Discourse has the security feature: [Free to edit post at any time - #5 by sam - feature - Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/free-to-edit-post-at-any-time/35516/5)
