About Why Attend? Speakers Agenda

Why attend?

This Next Thing wasn't an ordinary event, and because of this, we believe it led to extraordinary outcomes. But as it didn't necessarily fit the mould of typical business events...

...here are a list of reasons we thought you should attend This Next Thing.

High density of interesting people
Everyone who attended had either chosen to be there or been offered a place to attend. Everyone you met had an interesting story to tell.
An all-inclusive experience

So much time can be wasted at events worrying about trivial things like where to get lunch or dinner. In designing This Next Thing, we tried to cut out the trivial stuff and maximise decisions down to preferences, e.g. choosing where to start, or choosing which workshop to attend.

Included in your ticket was:

Driven by serious fun
Fun is one of our guiding principles, but it also leads to serious connections. Our goal was to create a space for folks to make meaningful connections over a number of days and to strengthen those relationships through shared experiences. Stories are at the heart of this and our goal was that everyone came away with new stories to tell.
A balance of inspiration, education, and empowerment
This Next Thing hoped to combine all of the ingredients of experience-craft that leave you with a sense of not only gratification at attending, but also of fulfillment. We combined inspiring keynote sessions with more hands-on workshops and roundtables, along with all that space to make relationships that will help you learn how to take your ideas and make them reality.
