Origin Story
Marino (@virtualized6ix) and I were in a Twitter Space. It was 2 am Pacific Time 🤯. He said, "Wouldn't it be cool to have a conference using Twitter Spaces?". What a great idea?! "What do we call it?" To which I replied "Spaces Con".
By this time, I spent over 100 hours in Spaces in less than a month. So, I saw the hesitancy of some people (including me) to speak. This is a way to encourage participation without added pressure. It removes the friction of coming into a Space and figuring out how you can contribute in a meaningful way.
During this same space, the Google Form was created, included in this post. Now it's real!
