Interesting people, but one of the strangest meeting I’ve ever attended.
• About 50 people from different backgrounds and industries, different occupations, different interests, etc., etc., etc.
• People came to the bar, but drinking wasn’t a goal.
• Meeting had no agenda, no predefined topics, no directions.
• Although everyone read Seth Godin’s book(s) or follow his blog, it was clear that just pronouncing/repeating statements about his ideas would not be very much appreciated.
So, what was in common?
I think state of mind and interest to see like-minded others.
And probably hope to find a way of using own creativity and ideas.
Some clearly looked for inspiration and moral support, something like this.
Many interesting conversations around, but two questions behind each of them:
• What do we have in common (besides sharing interest to same ideas)?
• How this collective creative power could be used?
Was this meeting successful?
From amount of exchanged business cards point of view, probably yes.
But in more deep level – I don’t know.
I’m not sure how many people would attend second meeting (if second meeting ever happened).
Anyway, it was interesting and fun.
Since this “tribal movement” just started, let’s see. And probably even participate.
