We did something different in Miami this year...
Instead of hosting another โnetworkingโ event at Miami Tech Week,
@seeblindspot (
@MrAngryPixels,
@mateipsatta) and I found a more thoughtful way to bring together the tech community to gather, collaborate, and explore new ideas.
We included:
โข Curated breakfast and dinners throughout the day by a private chef
โข A breathwork experience
โข Open-house co-working opportunities throughout the day
โข Games and activities like poker, pool, chess, music
โข
@seeblindspot LED billboard trucks that showcased the brilliant products the founders in Lumos were building (shown to hundreds of people!)
โข A tech "party" every night for folks to cool off
๐๐ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐.
All this was free. The community doesn't pay a cent. But it's also application-only (you can't buy your way in.)
A โluminaryโ is an extraordinary individual who positively inspires or influences others. The change-makers, thought leaders, and creators of our generation.
We wanted to fill the house with luminaries: extraordinary, yet kind, and accomplished, yet humble individuals who approached relationships with the mindset of giving first.
In the span of 3 weeks, we received hundreds of applications...
Attendees included:
โข Founders of unicorn companies
โข Entrepreneurs who have built companies generating $100M in revenue
โข Early tech operators who have worked directly with public company CEOs
โข Creators and writers with 100,000 readers
โข Young, up-and-coming dropouts who are building the future of tech
Incredibly humbled to have so many remarkable people attend. Thank you for coming.
By providing this space for a global community of builders, tinkerers, and change-makers to gather, we fostered hundreds of relationships, new business ideas, and partnerships.
This was our second Lumos House.
We plan to do it again:
โข New York (June 2 - 6, 2024)
โข San Francisco (Early October, 2024)
โข Los Angeles (Early October, 2024)
