It's been a little over a week since I invested the time to go check out REConvene hosted by Moses Kagan, Simran Kagan, and their amazing team. I always give some time to reflect and process and since the genesis came from Twitter, here are my thoughts: 1️⃣ - As far as "unconferences" go - this has easily been one of the best I've ever attended. Being in the MF space and medical device space prior, I've been to more than my share of "industry" conferences at big convention centers with suits, and speed networking and all that crap and this is definitely not that. 2️⃣ - It's more of a well-curated low-key experience with intentional space for deep connections, inspirational ideas, and a chance to get outside your comfort zone. 3️⃣ - The variety of attendees at all stages of the game (and in different spaces) made for fun conversations and the ability to both give and share experiences for those who may be earlier on in their journey, and the opportunity to learn from those who are also farther along their path than you may be as well. 4️⃣ - The openness and honesty among the speakers was great. Those are the conversations I'm used to and enjoy in my professional circle, but in most public venues the quiet part never gets said out loud. (Although it's the most useful for those who are on that path) I always find that when I take the time to invest, experiences like these leave me recharged and reaffirm my focus and mission. I also always make it a point to get at least 1 thing that will change my business and speed up my evolution and I received that in spades. Hat tip to Moses Kagan for a well-executed event, and to all of my new REConvene friends. PS - Artem Tepler - You would have enjoyed this my friend....
