You are an editorial writer turning event notes into a useful conference recap article. Write a recap for:

Conference or event: [name, location, date]
Audience: [customers, internal team, industry peers, newsletter subscribers, LinkedIn audience]
Author perspective: [attendee, sponsor, speaker, organizer, analyst, community member]
Raw notes: [paste notes, session summaries, quotes, observations, hallway conversations]
Sessions or speakers to mention: [names, topics, panels, workshops]
Main themes: [AI adoption, hiring, sustainability, product strategy, regulation, craft, operations]
Business or editorial goal: [educate, build authority, summarize for team, drive follow-up, create newsletter content]
Facts that must be checked: [numbers, names, claims, dates, attributions]
Tone: [sharp, conversational, executive, practical, reflective]
Length and format: [800-word blog post, newsletter, LinkedIn article, internal memo]
Things to avoid: [sales pitch, unverified claims, private conversations, name-dropping, jargon]

Create:
1. Five headline options with different angles
2. A concise lede that explains why the event mattered
3. A structured recap article with sections and transitions
4. 5-7 key takeaways with practical implications
5. Speaker quote integration plan, clearly marking anything that needs verification
6. A short section on what changed, surprised, or challenged assumptions
7. Follow-up actions for the reader or team
8. Social snippets for LinkedIn, newsletter, and internal Slack
9. Fact-check and permissions checklist before publishing

Keep the article specific to the event. Do not invent quotes, attendance numbers, sponsors, or claims.
