There was so much working against us coming back from the pandemic… First the only way we could rebook the venue was by having the conference on a Monday and Tuesday which we dreaded but had no choice (we were surely the underdog against all the other companies rebooking). Second, every vendor was stretched thin and getting a hold of anyone, let alone get a response, or actual product or service was nearly impossible — this is something we still deal with to a lesser extent but the pandemic definitely had a long-lasting side-effect of inconsistent customer service.
 
Since we strive to have timely stories on stage we decided to scrap our speaker roster from 2020 (which was PAINFUL) and start over. Once we had that in place we had to shift our attention to our rebooking of First Round in London, Berlin, and Amsterdam which had also been paused by Covid. We mention that only because it heavily impacted our design exploration and eventual production of the branding materials which we finished with what felt like 30 seconds to spare. 
 
On the one hand it was hard to start logistically since we were focused on the other events, yet the hardest part was getting the creative ideas flowing not only in the look and feel (easier) but in how to bring it all into existence physically. The last month was comprised of 17-hour days that were physically draining and left no room for error, let alone procrastination!
 
It was brutal! Out of all the conferences we have hosted this is the one that had us starting the event at our most depleted physically, mentally, and emotionally. It felt like we were flying by the seat of our pants, stumbling from one roadblock to the next. In reality we were using every resource, lesson learned, and built on experiences since 2010 to give everyone the seamless and amazing experience we all needed as we ventured back into live events and the energy and inspiration they offer.

Everything’s getting polished. We went the other way. May cause sharp opinions.

Todo se está volviendo pulido. Nosotros nos fuimos pa’l otro lado. Podría generar opiniones afiladas.

🖍️Check out this documentary that follows designer and curator Lope Gutiérrez-Ruiz as he prepares for the “Hundred Points” exhibition that opened this fall at the VAC. We’re so proud to call POSCA and TED our partners and Lope our colleague.

As a TED Fellow and 2025 TED and POSCA Artist-in-Residence, Lope Gutiérrez-Ruiz went on a global journey from Austin to São Paulo, Helsinki, and Cairo, where he collaborated with local artists to uncover shared expressions of creativity and connection. The culmination of his “Hundred Points” work celebrates the power of human imagination, community, and the art that binds us together across cultures.
