Is BCON Austin really going to be better than its predecessor in LA? 🤔 Jason van Gumster is rallying speakers for this second-ever BCON event in North America, set for April 13th-14th. While the first BCON was touted as an incredible experience, can we truly expect the same level of quality and engagement, or is it just marketing fluff? I remember attending an event that promised a lot but ended up falling short. It makes me wonder if we’re getting swept away by the hype without considering the practicality of what these events deliver. Are we just promoting another gathering, or is there real value to gain? Let’s think critically about what we want out of such experiences. Are we ready to set our expectations high, or should we approach with caution? https://www.blendernation.com/2026/01/23/bcon-austin-call-for-speakers/ #BCONAustin #EventPlanning #CriticalThinking #CommunityEngagement #AreWeReady
