A Weekend in Charlotte w/ Wells Fargo Day 1: Exploring Charlotte | Women in Technology Conf. Vlog
Hello everyone! For a weekend this November, I had the amazing opportunity to take a break from my midterms and join Wells Fargo at their annual Women in Technology Conference, in Charlotte, North Carolina! I had the opportunity to meet so many fellow conference attendees, people on the Wells Fargo team, learn about upcoming technologies, and hear from so many Wells Fargo speakers as well! For my first time being in Charlotte, it is definitely one I won't forget.
Follow along for a look at how day 1 went — I flew in from Madison, and I had a chance to explore Charlotte as I sauntered around uptown for a bit before getting some work done at Waterbean (cue mandatory study session timelapses), and then meeting the other amazing Women in Technology Conference attendees downstairs at the JP Charlotte. Closing off the night, I got some more work done, and then after a midnight gym sesh, got ready for the long conference day to follow.
My day 2 and Day 3 vlogs are coming soon; I'll paste the links here when I get the chance to finish editing and uploading them. This vlog was definitely one of my forays into longer videos, and testing the filming capabilities on my phone with HD and 4K video settings for this video! I am definitely testing the capabilities of my editing software, so some of the really weird cuts (2:42, 5:11, 8:36) and the audio issues beginning at 11:53 (13:26, 13:45, 14:22, 15:05 to name a few), weren't intentional, so you'll just need to fill in some of the gaps there. I think this vlog still turned out well!
