Reinventing the Conference Model

If I could create the perfect “conference” for myself, it would be a “think week” that combines curated speakers, solitary time, and “un-conference” meetups.  It would be in the middle of nowhere — let’s say Wyoming — and WiFi access would be a luxury.  It wouldn’t be livestreamed because people watching it would get no value out of watching it from their cubicles.  It would be an event for 50 people max, and the entire conference would be focused on YOU the individual.  You can read entire books, do yoga every morning, attend curated speaker sessions, meet other people around specific topics, etc.  The week is what you want to make of it for yourself.

I love these thoughts. I'm so bored at conferences these days. And I'm in dire need of a ThinkWeek.

(A bit of) Thinking time is also a side benefit of longer train commutes. Do you miss yours?

Fantastisch. Ich schiebe von Jahr zu Jahr den Vorsatz einer Think Week vor mir her, aber da dachte ich eher an Hütte + Ich als an Wyoming + 50. Inspirierender ist diese Variante hier.

Yes, I really miss the thinking and reading time on the train although
I wouldn't wanna go back.

Denke, dass es durchaus Sinn machen könnte, zwei ThinkingWeeks im Jahr
zu haben. Eine allein und eine mit anderen.
