Seed Conference
Saturday, January 19th, 2008
I just returned from the Seed Conference and all I can say is wow. This was a wonderful, thought-provoking, and inspirational event. If another one comes up, I highly recommend attending.
There was a lot of interesting information that was presented both directly and in-between the lines of the talks. It’s great to see so many inspiring individuals giving talks and hanging out at the conference. There were a ton of fresh ideas and a strong sense of innovation that was felt throughout the day.
Carlos Segura, Jason Fried, Edward Lifson, and Jim Coudal all gave great talks with good content.
If I had to boil it down to a few over-arching themes - the conference was really about truth, happiness, pride, innovation, and getting real.
I also can’t say enough about the location of the event. As someone who sits in a typical office environment most of the week, it was refreshing to be in an environment that encourages learning and has inspiration at every turn. It was also nice to be surrounded by individuals that are pushing the boundaries of our industry and unsatisfied with the status quo.
Over the next week or so, I’ll try to get around to posting some of the notes that I have from the event (1/2 a Moleskine full).
