Edge Esmeralda’s unique format means it is probably different from other events you’ve attended, so we wanted to share what a typical week will look like! In some ways though, this format is not that new, because:
Edge Esmeralda is similar to a college campus, with all sorts of interesting activities in walking & biking distance from each other. You’ll have the opportunity to attend and participate in book clubs, talks by domain experts, musical performances, group sports, workshops where you can learn a new skill, and much more.
Much like a college campus, weekdays will be more oriented towards focused time, while weekends will have a higher density of activities and programming:
During the week: After a healthy breakfast, you’ll spend the daytime in deep work. We provide infrastructure for you to be productive, whether you need a day of focus or want to run a retreat for your team or in a specific topic area. You will be in a beautiful place to work without having to worry about logistical details.
In the evenings: There will be activities and opportunities to meet people, such as salons corresponding to that week’s theme and group bike rides in the surrounding wine country.
Each weekend: We'll host unconferences on a variety of topics organized by relevant experts. At this point, the month-long participants will be joined by shorter-term visitors, injecting fresh energy into the popup village.
If you’re a Healdsburg local, here’s what to expect:
There will be talks and workshops hosted in several venues in town, centered around Foss Creek Trail.
We are encouraging visitors to walk & bike as their primary modes of transportation rather than driving, to reduce environmental impact and stay active.
We’d love for you to attend, and we’re offering a big discount for Sonoma County Locals. You can get a ticket here.
We’re hosting an open house on Saturday, June 1st to share a bit more about Edge Esmeralda, answer your questions, and get to know you better. Join us! RSVP here: bit.ly/edge-esmeralda-open-house
We can’t wait to see you all in June!
