A Letter From Our team
None of us has had a conventional career path. From circus acrobat to lab technician, culinary magazine editor, performing artist, founder, and startup executive – each of us has worked in a variety of industries with many different kinds of teams
The common thread, however, is a focus on people.
Individually, humans can be incredible learners, capable of resilience and adaptation. But together, in well-functioning teams, we can accomplish more.
We have always been drawn to the magical, spontaneous connections that happen when exceptional people come together in the same place – whether on stage or within a hyper growth startup.
We strive to create spaces for humans to connect authentically and meaningfully.
In early 2016, Robin produced a day-long "Un-conference" on the Future of Work. Attendee enthusiasm was overwhelming, and he saw the appetite for an annual conference about work — thus, Responsive Conference was born.
Our goal with Responsive Conference is not just to talk about human connection, behavior, and work. Rather, we are creating a learning and connection experience where we can actually embody these ideas.
We are thrilled to be entering our ninth year of creating memorable and connected experiences through Responsive Conference—and we look forward to sharing this community with you.
Warmly,
Robin, Marie and Nicole
