You know those people have one million pictures of their dog in their phone’s camera album?
Well, that’s me. However, in my phone’s album, the one million pictures are of me attending Business of Software events.
I’ve got pictures of speakers, of the lunch, of Mark walking around introducing people, of speaker’s slides, of the venue the BoS team has chosen to hold the event. You name it, I look like I’m obsessed. There are so many pictures.
And this year’s BoS in Cambridge only added to this growing collection.
BoS, Cambridge, was my second in-person event. The first (BoS USA) involved me flying to Boston, US, to watch some amazing speakers and experience what the BoS community really was all about. This one – on “home soil” – allowed me to continue the fun and play a part in contributing to the community.
What I enjoy about BoS is that it’s a single-track event. It provides attendees with a unique experience to listen to some of the most interesting speakers when it comes to building software businesses. You don’t have to pick a speaker, it’s been curated in a way that you get to watch people who take you on a journey of growing your business. It’s thoughtful.
Unlike other events I’ve attended, it’s clear to me they put a lot of effort into who they choose to speak to, ensuring the speakers are as diverse as their audience and the customers who buy their products.
But this year for me was different.
