Build Conference Journal – Day 4

without comments

With the main events having reached their zenith, we’re left with stonking great hangovers and a few more fringe events for us hardcore conference goers to enjoy for the remainder of the week. A number of us convene for the obligatory fry up, a little worse-for-wear, tired, hungover, but ultimately happy.

There was a ‘fr00tball’ tournament taking place around midday for those who signed up. Not all it’s participants managed to turn up on time, and others… not at all. Several of us wiser folk made our way to the Malmaison’s cafe instead for coffee, chats and a bit of work. Gradually our numbers dwindled as they began to head off to catch their respective flights. Ultimately, our brains had given up, so we were happy enough to simply vegetate.

Having lounged our way through the day, we staggered onwards to ‘An evening with Threadless’. Brock Rumer (@brockrumer) took us on a trip through daily life at Threadless. It surprised me to learn just how community focused they are. Opinions of the customers are valued very highly. By the end, we pretty much all wanted to work for Threadless.

And finally there was an app launch party from Onotate (@onotate) but, due to an allergy… issue… I duck out and die slowly in my hotel. Fan. Tastic. Heard it was good though, with mentions of people ‘eating their own faces’ in the form of decorative cupcakes.
