Network States

one impressive piece of the TNS conf was how @balajis.eth solved the coordination problem of getting so many top-tier speakers at a brand new conf -- he went remote

getting garry tan + vitalik + tyler cowen + @dwr.eth all in amsterdam ... that's hard

getting them to record a 3 minute video ... way less hard

building /cabin, advising /clanker and /farcon | grin.io

which, in retrospect, of course a *network state* conf would have remote speakers

Brilliant tactic.

Balaji: "want to give a talk at TNS Conference?"

Me: "I'd love to, but I don't travel for conferences."

Balaji: "Great, here's a calendly for a remote talk."

Checkmate.

Wow that’s also the right length for a remote speaker.

Sundance does this length too if you can’t make the festival for your film.

Over 5 minutes and I don’t want to stare at the screen anymore no offense.

Great sales tactic! Wonder how many attendees showed up expecting to network with those remote speakers 😅
