About Us

Theme

In some ways, this is a terrible time for a conference:

  • A recession is here.

  • People are getting laid off.

  • Web3 is being overrun by fraudsters.

  • AI is posing a potentially existential threat.

  • And the world is kind of a mess, generally.

But isn't it during difficult times like these that we all should be together?

We want to take this opportunity to examine and confront these challenges. It’s also the perfect moment for a mid-career check-in and a shared exploration of things to be hopeful for and excited about in the decade to come.
