Greetings again from the Me Convention <\/a>here in Frankfurt. It’s a 3 day conference  jointly sponsored by Mercedez Benz and SXSW. THis conference has been such an amazing surprise to me.. I didn’t really know what to expect.. but what I’ found here is such a crazy and wonderful mix of stuff.. that i could not have expected it all anyway.. it’s a wonderfully currated mix of artists, scientists, entrepreneurs, politicians, activists, slackers, digital nomads ( a new term for me) .. , All  ages, stages and beliefs.. .. all temperaments. and interests..   .. my hat… if I had one.. is off to the organizers. the conference venue and schedule  been so wonderfully thought out. I’ve made several new friends..and run into quite a few folks I know from elsewhere just by accident. I’m so pleasantly overwhelmed by it all..  Once again.. I’m awake too late to record it all here.. but will try to do that on the train tomorrow.. For now.. Here are some pics. <\/p>\n

here’s the main hall<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

yesterday I saw Buz Aldrin speak<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

today I heard Barrack Obamas sister give a wonderful talk on getting beyond poverty in africa . <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

great panel lead by my new friend Alexis <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

firends in elevators.. The woman in the back left is one of the Sr Execs at Lyft. she told how they did a simple ’round up’ campaing and raised more than a million dollars for storm relief for Houston in only a few days. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

great panelists on demand driven business models.  Check out SkyHi .. the guy on the left invented it.. for a flat monthly rate of $199 you can fly between specific cites (all less that 1500 miles) for only $35 \"\"<\/p>\n

there was a great speakers reception  tonight at a really nice bar <\/p>\n

david and gil <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hans on the right gave a talk (which sadly I missed ) on curation.. Max (next to me … ) and Hans work together seemlesly to make a 24 hour team.. they overlap for a few hours a day.. and max does all the production from hans’s curation overnight.. it’s such a  cool arraignment !<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jeff and sohie .. <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

quick falafal burger for dinner <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

after party party at techno club.. didn’t stay long.. but was fun !<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

such a wonderfully full couple of days. <\/p>\n
