A major thank you to everyone who helped put on this past weekend’s conference in New York! We could not be happier or more grateful for how it all went. We are offering the recordings free of charge again this year; we only ask that those who were not able to attend this year *consider* making a donation to Mockingbird to help cover the cost of the event.

Thanks so much for these! Can’t wait to listen to every single one of them. Seriously. JZ
thank you Mbird! i’ve been waiting for these.
Save the Date: Next Mbird Conference takes place 9/28-29 in Charlottesville, VA! More details soon.
These are fantastic! So far I’ve listened to Aaron’s first talk, and DZ’s final talk. They compliment each other perfectly, and should be heard by every interested reader of this blog, the perfect Mbird primer/Mockingbird 101. Bravo guys!
I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and can’t wait to listen to the ones I missed!
