Something new we're trying this year is one-night-only, intimate events in 3 cities (Berlin, Dublin, & San Francisco). Each one is a multi-course dinner in a hand-picked venue, threaded throughout with storytelling and the This Next Thing spirit.

I sadly won't be at the first two (but if you go, say hi to @eamonleonard & @paulca for me!), but both @evanphx and I will be at the SF dinner on March 27. If you can come join us... we'd love to catch up!

Hello! Somehow it's March already -- time to start thinking about exciting summer plans! In our little This Next Thing planning clubhouse, we've been quietly refining details for TNT 2024, and it's finally time to share it with the world.

I'll be updating a lot this month -- apologies in advance, but it's because I'm so proud to tell you about the incredible stuff we've got going on, and maybe even convince you to join in on the fun!

First: our new site is liiiiiive: https://2024.thisnextthing.com

Catching up late on the Devternity debacle, and it's leaving me with a genuine question:

What is it about tech conferences* in particular that seem to attract so much ridiculous drama?

* I don't mean any that I am or have been involved in; this is very much not a passive-aggressive dig, but a true query!
