::Reflections on TNS Conference in Amsterdam::

🔲 Unsurprising Thing #1: 

It was the highest density of great content I’ve experienced at a conference, period. 40 speakers. Incredible quality across board. No Q & A's to waste momentum. Perfect time limits. Fast beats at transitions. Great organization.

1/n

🔲 Surprising Thing #3: 

Balaji’s Exit Poll survey was so f*ing smart! He’s explicitly searching to create a Values Graph within the movement.

It was also genius, imo, to pick particularly polarizing people/topics, since it’s useful to know what can bind us together, and what tear us apart.

Network tribes and open source organizational frameworks can accommodate any agreement or disagreement, except their number 1 common enemy.
