DOES Scenius regional watch parties? @genek mentioned the possibility of one-day virtual DevOps events throughout the year. I have an idea to help foster the in-person networking and local engagement. One person I spoke with mentioned difficulty in getting org buy-in to attend the annual conference, fostering enthusiasm in between the annual conferences, and his company's reduction of travel allowances. I would love to help host and organize regional watch parties. I think there is some real potential value in this and would love to brainstorm more. Here are the inherit hurdles I see with virtual conferences: • Hard to establish work boundaries and focus on the conference sessions when your phone is ringing and people are coming in the door. • My org tends to dismiss the value of virtual conferences vs conferences that call you out of the office. If you're in the office you're accessible. • Networking is hard to replicate • It's hard to feed off of each other's enthusiasm and truly engage creating free ideation. I have participated in various communities in California that offer regional groups throughout the year, which really helps keep these rich conversations going and develops great relationships outside the conference. I would be happy to host a watch party at my organization for those in driving distance in Southern California. My thought would be to hold it in a large conference room at our location that could accommodate 80-100 people, we could have group activities to help foster networking and collaboration and could find a way to submit Q&A questions, either on camera or in text, to the moderators for live interaction. Ideas? Feedback? Worth doing? Would you attend a local watch party in favor of watching from your desk?
Hi Matt - I had similar ideas a while back here in EMEA : I found it tough to get a little traction to get going. but I feel there are plenty of folk who would simply love to do something like this. it would be fantastic to keep the energy going!
So great meeting you @mpenner two days ago! Cc @jeff.gallimore @mvk842 @alex I wonder if we can do some experiments around "GeneCon" in December. For people who want to host meetups, we could help publicize? I think it would be so rewarding to take part in one, as opposed to just watching on Zoom.
🔈 Calling all DOES attendees looking to continue your networking for the night.

My Dojo peeps, we should plan to catch up for lunch/social hour/breakfast. Tagging few folks who I ran into, tag along anyone I may have missed to this 🧵 @chris.gallivan421 @rummme01 @alexbasa @stevesargon @richard.abrahamson @jwetterau @ben.burbank @patricke
I’m going to bring a colleague along (Ram). He is heavily involved on our dojo coaching practices.
Where do we want to meet at? Assuming we’re doing lunch today?
I’m grabbing a table on the outside of the lunchroom where we ate last year
I have a table by the birds of the feather but seats are going fast
I won’t be able to make it. It was good catching up with you over lunch.

Hi I'm Jesse Robbins.

I'm also looking for podcast/video guests for our network & opportunities to support yours. I'm also happy meet with folks on the journey who I can help. I am a full-time VC now with Heavybit, and am happy to talk about startup ideas, existential questions, founder emotional support, what to do in waves hands around in this economy / venture investing climate / frothy AI hypestorm / BS cycle.
