Sesame Summit 2026 – application open

Are you an event organizer?

We started an online community for our Coffee with Sesame BFFs and you might be eligible to join the party 🙂

I still remember the Telegram chats, Facebook groups and even our own mobile app where event organizers & Tech event lovers would come together to discuss, share tips and debate the future of our industry.

If I would have known we were bound to U-Turn into total disruption, I would have launched an online community way earlier. Or maybe an online event platform..? It’s more profitable.

Look, this week is on par with the previous ones but it’s got a stronger community flavor for obvious reasons. Ping me if you’d like to join our group of 30+ event founders gathering at pro.stg-sesamers-staging.kinsta.cloud.

LinkedIn is Also Developing Audio Rooms, Tapping into the Audio Social Trend

“With other platforms providing bigger audience reach, and tools with which influencers can broadcast to their already established audiences, that could be a more appealing option, and could stop new users drifting to Clubhouse instead. Even more problematic is that these platforms are looking to launch Android versions of the functionality before Clubhouse has its own Clubhouse app.”

We asked community leaders what their first step as a new Chief Community Officer would be

“While this may vary depending on your company and community, relationships with Marketing, Product, and Support are arguably the ones to cultivate first. That means helping the various role-players understand the value of community for their parts of the business, as well as finding out how their teams operate, and what insight and support you could give each other.”

Food

Rethinking Food and Agriculture 2020-2030

“We are on the cusp of the deepest, fastest, most consequential disruption in food and agricultural production since the first domestication of plants and animals ten thousand years ago. This is primarily a protein disruption driven by economics. The cost of proteins will be five times cheaper by 2030 and 10 times cheaper by 2035 than existing animal proteins, before ultimately approaching the cost of sugar. They will also be superior in every key attribute – more nutritious, healthier, better tasting, and more convenient, with almost unimaginable variety. This means that, by 2030, modern food products will be higher quality and cost less than half as much to produce as the animal-derived products they replace.”

Food, Farming, and the Fate of Planet Earth

“Producing food is perhaps the single most important — and absolutely necessary — activity humans engage in. Without it, we would literally cease to exist as a modern civilization. And the need for food is increasing, as populations continue to grow and more people shift towards meat-rich diets. The crucial thing for our future is to find ways to feed a growing world without ultimately destroying the planet we all depend on.”

Wellness

The 7 types of rest that every person needs

“We go through life thinking we’ve rested because we have gotten enough sleep — but in reality we are missing out on the other types of rest we desperately need. The result is a culture of high-achieving, high-producing, chronically tired and chronically burned-out individuals. We’re suffering from a rest deficit because we don’t understand the true power of rest.”
