conferences

PKM Summit 2024

I thoroughly enjoyed attending PKM Summit 2024! The conference was very well organised, in an easy going, unconference style. About 150 people attending in total, which was actually a lot more than I was expecting on this niche topic.

I got similar feelings as when I was attending the first Fronteers conferences back in the day: non-profit, run by volunteers, geared towards people meeting each other and sharing their knowledge on a specific subject. It was a nice touch that the organisers called for in-promptu workshops or talks to add to the official timetable.

Even though I did not take a formal spot in the timetable, I shared a rough sketch of my Quantified Self and PKM talk in between talks with a couple of people that recognized me from the online community and were interested in hearing more.
