Nostalgia ain't what it used to be ...
This is super cringey, but bear in mind it was done in 2009. The number of times the word 'connect' is mentioned has me bright red in embarrassment.
In my opinion, 2008 - 2009 was the golden age for meetups and excitement about the future. This was just before the economy hit the floor, and the rest is history.
There seemed to be events for everyone, and as a 'Connector,' I loved to join as many meetups as I could and then bring everyone together at my 'Tribes' event.
I remember other meetup hosts like John Dunne Digital Tonic), Ty Richardson, PhD and Claire Kehoe Cunningham (EYP), Jason Roe (Blogger, Twitter, Whatever), and the guys from Synth Eastwood, The Attic etc.
A special shoutout to the unicorn jockey CEO of Intercom namely Eoghan McCabe who is shown briefly giving a rousing talk on the merits of entrepreneurship. What a journey he has been on since!
Thanks again to Alvin Perry for the amazing work on the Connector branding, and apologies for how I went rogue with these animations! ;-)
Watch out soon for the book launch for The Assets Ladder and some other cool new events.
Preview the book on www.TheAssetsLadder.com
Yours,
Conor
