Unfortunately, no, I didn't attend.
I probably won't be at the 2027 Winter meeting [which will be the last Winter Meeting].
Hopefully, I'll be able to go to the 2027 Summer meeting

One bit of news is that

• trinket.io is going away [but one can go download an archive of one's code now],
  
  which was a place that supported programming in glowscript/webvpython ,
  as an alternative to glowscript.org and webvpython.org.
  
  
• trinket.gopicup.org is a new site which supports glowscript/webvpython,
  and soon it will support pyodide to write in vpython and will have access to libraries like numpy.
  [code-archives from trinket.io can be imported into trinket.gopicup.org]
