World shaking change returns this year to New York City October 14-16 through The Feast. The Feast guarantees “to gather the world’s greatest innovators from across industries and society to empower, inspire and engage each other in creating world-shaking change.”
Last year I couldn’t make it due to another conference engagement (the fall is such a busy time) but this year it’s top of my list and I can’t wait. Jerri Chou and Mike Karnjanaprakorn (also founders of All Day Buffet and TBD) are amazing innovators with a tremendous network and I’m looking forward to connecting with like-minded people and having creative and thought-provoking conversations about, well, just about everything.
This year they’ve added an extra element of learning by introducing Feast Scholars. Three Feast Scholars will receive a ticket to the conference and great opportunities to network with speakers and participate in a unique way. So my question to you is are you making the world a better place? Do all of your friends and colleagues stare in awe at all the remarkable things you’ve accomplished? Need an extra boost in some network skills? If any of these are you, or someone you know, encourage them to be a Feast Scholar! Apply here. Deadline is Wedneday September 22nd and scholars will be announced on September 29th.
You can also still buy tickets to the conference and if you’re feeling generous micro-sponsor another person/organization to attend as well.
Hope to see you at The Feast!
