Feedback from audience and hosts
“…without doubt the most entertaining and thought provoking speaker I’ve seen in years. His Ends topic is arguably the most important yet sadly, rarely spoken about.”
“extremely interesting closing discussion around "ends". Huge opportunity to design ends for our customer service, no one does this well, could solve a lot of problems.”
“Fascinating stuff from @mrmacleod on our relationship with consumption. Consumer self vs civil self.”
Data from conference hosts, when asking attendees through surveys, found that the Endineering talk is often one of the most preferred talk at conferences.
