This is in the atrium of a hotel which looks a bit like a cruise ship because all floors are visible with balconies. It's really pretty, sort of a mid century modern vibe

The title slide of a conference talk. Pale blue background with two cute tall green houseplants in pink pots, looking at each other while placed on a table with a rotary phone between them. One is smiling, the other looks unamused, suggesting that hybrid one-on-ones aren't easy without effort. The text says "Leveraging hybrid one-on-ones for better connections, QCon San Francisco 2022, Alexandra Sunderland".

Pale blue background with two cute tall green houseplants in pink pots, looking at each other from opposite sides of the slide where they're each on their own hill with a few trees. One is smiling, the other looks unamused, suggesting that hybrid one-on-ones aren't easy without effort. They're placed far apart to show that they aren't in an office together.
