And just like that, twenty is in the books. For a few days, we filled Clark with hackers, ideas, experiments, questionable decisions, new friendships, old stories, blinking badges, packed rooms, and exactly the kind of chaos we’ve learned to love. To everyone who came through the doors of ROOTCON 20—thank you. Whether this was your twentieth ROOTCON or your first, you brought something to the con. You asked questions. You shared knowledge. You met people. You tried something new. You stayed curious. And somewhere between the talks, villages, contests, hallway conversations, parties, and late-night hacking, you became part of this chapter of ROOTCON. To our Goons: you absolute legends. Months of preparation became two very long days of moving, fixing, coordinating, improvising, and making sure the show kept going. Much of what you do happens where nobody sees it, and that’s exactly why everything works. To our speakers, trainers, villages, contest crews, partners, sponsors, and everyone who helped us put this thing together—thank you for trusting us with your time, knowledge, and support. Twenty editions is a hell of a milestone. But the number isn’t what matters most. It’s the community that somehow keeps finding its way back. The gear is packed. The halls are quiet again. The con hangover is real. ROOTCON 20 is over. The community isn’t. Stay curious. Stay weird. Keep hacking. We’ll see you on the next one. ROOTCON ❤️ you!
