Not much to say, and just wanted to mark yesterday’s #140Conf Live virtual event, hosted by Jeff Pulver. Regular followers here will know about my long history with Jeff, and how his version of a virtual event is different - as is most of what Jeff does. As an analyst, conferences are a big part of my world, and as I’ve been writing recently, there’s no one way to do virtual events.

Jeff does #140Conf Live his way, and it works just fine. Each week there’s a different theme, and he lines up speakers accordingly. In the course of recent discussions, Jeff wanted to do a future of work theme, and with that being the focus of my monthly Watch This Space podcast with Chris Fine, he had us on the roster.

Chris and I sure enjoyed our talk time, as well as the other speakers - a very eclectic mix. We heard about how a dentist is using all kinds of technology to turn his office into a touchless experience for everyone, and another about using AR/VR for all kinds of things, including teaching surgery. Very cool.

All told, Jeff may be on to something here, and I think most attendees would agree. There were about 100 people with us, and the chat thread was rich. Am not sure if there’s a replay available, and if not, you’ll just have to check out upcoming events to see for yourself. This is just one of many ways Jeff stays busy building community, and to get connected, here’s the detail on next week’s event, along with how to get on his email list. Otherwise, here’s a screen shot I took during my talk with Chris.
