Behind the scenes look at how the conference was named, how one talk changed the course of the conference and what it really take to run a conference.
Show Notes:
Michael Eaton heads up Kalamazoo X, a tech conference that’s about everything except code. We talked about what it's like to run a conference described as a braver, more profane set of Ted Talks.
Michael talks about the challenges fo marketing a conference that’s about the human side of technology, leaving the content in your speaker’s hands rather than curating it and how one talk changed the course of the conference. Finally, he shares he knew it was time for a change and what's next.
