Tomorrow, I’m hosting 17 new friends at my home here in Vermont for Nevertheless — an "unconference" dedicated to the assertion that randomized encounters with new people and perspectives is a vital experience.
This is the most excited I have been about meeting new people in a very long time.
This is an experimental shared project with a potluck agenda. We’ll be going off-script and having grown-up, candid conversations about our real-world experiences. All in an attempt to imagine what possibilities await us outside of our day-to-day bubbles of design, product, research, ops, tech, etc.
Importantly for me, this gathering increases the odds I step into a place of curiousity, creativity, and connection. And, that others are choosing to join me, the confidence that I am not alone in this desire.
I look forward to sharing my reflections with y’all next week. I’m sure there will be cow pictures.
