I was standing in line at my local coffee shop, and my ears perked up. I heard someone tell his colleague about the tools he uses to motivate volunteers or staff who weren’t showing up. I started asking him questions, and that one conversation changed how I lead contributors and employees overnight.
The best breakthroughs often happen over coffee, so we are bringing that magic to a virtual coffee shop in our conference day 2!
Like the TV show “Friends” but instead of gossip in a New York coffee place, step inside our cuuute 2D retro virtual coffee shop, where you’ll connect with curious, caring people who want to bring more heart and humanity to their tech, just like you.
Networking online, but make it organic
Wander your avatar around the space, and when you get close to someone or a group, your cameras turn on for real-time chats (aka “proximity chat”). You’ll meet real humans in industry who care.

P.S. No worries if you missed the conference. This networking party is valuable on its own. You’ll meet interesting people, have real conversations, and leave with at least one new idea, connection, or opportunity. And if you’d like to catch the talks too, you’ll get the recording with your ticket. 🙂
