Yesterday, we Feasted–on inspiring ideas, amazing projects, wonderful people and good vibes. A huge thank you to the speakers who offered inspiration, insights and tactics for making the world a better place. But just as huge a thank you to everyone who attended. Two ideas seemed to keep cropping up during the day’s activity and talks: collaboration and a new economy. The Feast was an example of just that and would have been impossible if not for the collaborative effort of everyone involved.
All of you who attended, from volunteers, to partners to attendees, are more than just that. There was very much a sense that you are part of a movement–one that can use collaboration to exponentially build the new economy.
So we hope you enjoyed yourselves, but also thank you for attending, for finding each other, and we hope to keep you connected beyond just future Feast information and updates but to foster this network to create real change.
In the spirit of openness, we are always looking for and welcome any thoughts, feedback and ideas for future events and ways to keep you all involved. More than a conference, The Feast has and is developing a community and movement and we’re still hungry.
Thank you.
Michael, Jerri, and the All Day Buffet Team

Congrats again on a fantastic conferences! Here’s one suggestion for next year: I was missing the opportunity to ask questions at the end of each presentation. (And, glad to see you like my picture.

Guys, a final dollop of props for the amazing job you did organizing this event. It was a true pleasure to participate. I was inspired and enlightened–and, of course, entertained.
Despite the coolness and communicability of ADB and similar online socially-aware ventures, there is simply no replacement for bringing people together face to face in organized constructive ways. Way to go. Here’s to future Feasting!!!
I’ll be writing more about the Feast and related themes all wknd on our new bloggy project: homeoftheideabox.wordpress.com
Check it out!
