## Source excerpt

This year, I flew out to San Francisco to attend (and help host!) my very first GraphQL Summit. As a Canadian flying to San Francisco for the first time, I was delighted to escape the Toronto cold to explore a new city, meet my awesome new Apollo colleagues, hang out with puppies (oh yeah--we had a puppy booth 🐶), chat with devs from around the world, and of course learn everything I could about the present and future of GraphQL.
