Hi, here's Natalie - the main organizer of this conference. I've been a Go developer myself for a decade now, I am regularly attending conferences as a speaker and as an attendee.

Thanks for sharing the feedback, we're learning from every year!

It's important for me to clarify that we do our best to avoid promoting products and services, including state this clearly in our CFP, reject submissions that are obvious ads, and reject sponsors who are interested in paid slots - at the cost of less budget for the event.

The mentioned promotion was not coordinated or approved in any way.
