Hoping to come for longer this year. I'm also thinking of bringing my 10-year-old. I'd love to hear about the experiences of people bringing kids (esp kids around that age). Is there a place I could hear about that or talk to other parents?
Hi Misha, it's great to hear that you're thinking about coming for longer next year!
The best place to read about how we think about the kids experience is on the blog, which I imagine you've already seen. But before the next event, we'll also try to compile the experience that folks have had with their families in one place to make it easier to see.
If you want to build in Cloverdale then host this event in Cloverdale. Invest in the community you supposedly want to be a part of. Locals are very skeptical of your intentions. And don’t say there aren’t the accommodations or event space you need. We have plenty of space to accommodate you. Especially if you’re planning this far out.
Hey Mollie! We would love that. We hosted several EE'24 events in Cloverdale, and we're looking at ways to expand that for EE'25 and beyond. I'd be interested in hearing your ideas and brainstorming together.
We actually originally planned to host EE'24 in Cloverdale, but when we researched the hotel options, we just couldn't find enough. (For a sense of scale, we had 1,300 attendees!) That said, we're very open to pointers if you know of lodging options that we weren't aware of.
Would you be willing to meet up for coffee sometime? I'm an open book about my intentions and happy to answer any questions you might have.
Look at the citrus fair and performing arts center to host seminars. There is a hotel here and B&B’s, but if you really have 1300 people, it’s likely all won’t be able to stay in Healdsburg anyway. Would love to meet and have coffee with you next time you’re in Cloverdale.
What was the co-working environment like last year for the event? If I did come, I would likely have to work a full 40 hour week remotely and hop on occasional meetings. Were people last year able to work effectively during the weekdays?
Hey! I came last year for just like two days :(

PS, here's an example of a family with 3 young kids who joined us at Edge City Lanna (a similar event that we're organizing in Thailand right now) https://x.com/RoszykAdam/status/1845151992529944980

I'm planning to attend and hoping to bring my college-age son along. I'm guessing/hoping the event will attract many college students as well.
