    If you find yourself going to a lot of conferences like I do, you end up getting an idea like itsalways the same people and its always the same ideas. This totally transforms that. Tribe Con isso different. It looks at what a conference could have been like and ways in which it could havebeen totally mediocre, normal, and boring, and it turns them all around. There is a lot of stuff

    people can connect to emotionally. Thats why Tribe Con is memorable.
