It has taken 10 years of being on the @heypresents.com stage as MC to secure a slot to actually give a talk. So, you know... I better not screw it up.

Tickets for this final edition are going.

Our final speaker at All Day Hey! is none other than our irreplaceable MC, @philhawksworth.dev. Phil has stuck with us since our very first conference back in 2017, so it's only right that we finish with a talk from the man who's supported us from the start, talking about "Learning along the way".

## Game On!

Cassie’s taking GSAP for a spin in a live-coded game, and the direction it takes is up to you. With input from the audience, the game will take shape in real time. Characters? Enemies? Explosions? Syntax errors that break the whole thing (hopefully not). Who knows, anything could happen.

As Bill and Ted discovered in their excellent adventure, it can be easier to learn through hijinks, trials and practice than through reading. How can we learn from their experience to get better at web accessibility?
