Well, that might all be the case for you. I actually think compared to a lot of events in the tech space, it’s very good indeed - and you’re right to compare it to media/arts things.

What I definitely liked: it’s focused. It’s on a single site, everyone’s really keen to be there, so the crowds are interesting and there’s lots of good people under one roof. Everyone concentrates, too - I saw practically no-one with a laptop out during talks - they were all too busy watching or listening.

It’s definitely a bit more than the sum of its parts. But it’s also not, say, the most completely life-changing event I’ve been to - though I never expect that of conferences; I value them for the change I find in myself, not what other people tell me.

update: I’m going. It’s an interesting line-up and I think I know better how to hang out this time :wink:

Excited to be attending this year. Had to give my ticket away last year, due to an illness in the family

Bump. This is next week!

I’m going. I’m excited. I, too, am going for the head-space that it puts me in: I purposely challenge myself and go to talks, sessions, and concerts about topics I don’t normally think of as relevant to my music. Last year I found that everyone involved, speaker and attendee, was deeply thoughtful and had serious ideas to put forth, and that in turn made me more vibrant about my own musical journey.

Keen for a llllllll.co meet up. I’ll be in Berlin from Wednesday through Monday mid-day.

I’m going and super excited as well :slight_smile: Outside of the talks and scheduled events, I plan to spend time on the Stay+Play side of things and play music with others! I’ve been making music alone for too long and I miss collaboration.

Excellent! I’ll have a mini-version of my live performance rig with me and plan on playing as much as possible as well.

I’m headed off to Berlin today.
Find me - I’m the older guy with a pointy grey beard and black backpack.
Would love to meet you all in person - coffee / beer / talk / jam / whatever.

Headed to Berlin on Friday morning, will try to find you :slight_smile: I might just message you on the day

I will be in Berlin for the Loop summit too. @mzero I will see, if I can find you there and meeting some monome user could be fun.
I am really looking foward to these days.

Hey folks who are headed to Berlin, this event seems relevant to lines’ interests. If one of you goes, I’d love to hear about it:

I was looking out for you, but the are so many visitors this year. Í ll try to catch you and all the other monome guys. Hope your enyoing the spectacle so far…

I will try to be there - I’ve seen you go past twice now but not said hello yet!

Sry, unfortunately I can’t be there. I have to leave earlier than I would have liked.

Bumped unexpectedly into @electret and @whitenoises at the CL Tocante Workshop (not part of Ableton Loop) yesterday. Cool getting to know the people behind the nicks :slight_smile:

For those who missed the amazing workshop and is still in town, Peter Blasser (Ciat Lonbarde) is giving a lecture and performance tomorrow evening at Spektrum Berlin. Would love to meet y’all there! :smiley:
