” Don’t make it perfect. Make it now “. @jamfactory.bsky.social at #btconf Berlin in 2022. I often come back to this quote, I have to say. Full video of this talk: beyondtellerrand.com/events/berli... #mondayMixtape

Nearly 60% of people who come to #btconf come by recommendation. That is wonderful! On the other hand I ask myself how and if I should get more visibility on any platform that addresses new attendees also. And which one these are?!

A slide with a heading 'Word travels by word of mouth.' on a black background. The text states: 'Roughly 6 in 10 attendees come through a friend or colleague's recommendation.' A horizontal stacked bar chart on the right shows how attendees discovered the event: A friend 30.1%, A colleague 28.8%, Other / Returning 37.5%, LinkedIn 1.3%, and Other social 2.3%.

I asked attendees of #btconf, which social they use. Multiple answers where possible. Of those who answered (387) it looks like this.

A chart showing the preferred social media platform of #btconf attendees. First is Linkedin, followed by Mastodon, then “no socialTiktok” heads up with Bluesky. Way lower is Instagram and Facebook. A few with Twitter still and 1 each for Threads and Tiktok.

Super stoked that my friend @brendandawes.xyz has once more offered to create the whole design for #btconf. This time for the 15th anniversary. That was his start and where he got with that … well, those on-site will see it first. ;) Thanks Brendan!

Ever since I started #btconf, I ask someone to create opening titles. Those are the very first thing attendees get to see on the morning of day one, even before I get on stage to say hello. This year Pikdrei have created those titles and I am happy that they did. beyondtellerrand.com/blog/opening...
