Conference szn

It’s October which means that it’s conference season for Secfi and I.

We kick things off this week with TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco. I’ll be hosting 4 roundtable discussions at TechCrunch Disrupt on Tuesday and Wednesday. And have a few meetings with some potential partners.

Next week is Money2020 which is fintech’s super bowl. I went to M2020 last year and I had an absolute blast and met some awesome people who I still speak to today. We’ve decided to go big this year and we’re bringing 12 people and have a booth in the exhibition hall.

I’m excited to see some old friends and make some new connections. Perhaps if I have time, I’ll also sneak off to the craps table for a couple hours and let off some steam.

These conferences are a lot of fun but draining. I’m not sure if it was the pandemic or just being in my 30s now, or a combination of both, but every time I go to one of these conferences, I need a solid 3 days to recharge my batteries. I’ll need to be cognizant about getting sleep and proper rest these next 2 weeks.
