Snafu Conference – March 5, 2026Organizations have to be resilient to survive in the modern world of work. So do individuals. One of the most overlooked skills in the 21st century is the ability to sell — to advocate, influence, and persuade. To complement Responsive Conference, we’ve launched something new: The Snafu Conference. This event is for anyone who needs to advocate for their ideas, raise funds, or lead with influence — especially if you’ve never thought of yourself as a salesperson. Like Responsive Conference, it’s built around real conversations, immersive experiences, and a community of thoughtful doers — but this time, the focus is on mastering the art of authentic persuasion. Join us on March 5, 2026, at the Oakland Museum of California for a day that will change how you think about genuine selling, authentic connection, and storytelling. Learn more about The Snafu Conference, the latest experience from the Responsive team.
Until next time, |

Howdy folks - Ticket prices for Responsive Conference 2026 increase at the end of the day today (May 15th). Get your ticket now!

AI is reshaping collaboration, leadership feels increasingly ambiguous, and entire functions are being rewritten. We're all trying to figure out what remains human, and what has to change. This...
Howdy folks - For the tenth anniversary of Responsive Conference, we’ve decided to do something different. The team has just attended Suzy Welch's Convening on Purpose and Flourishing in the Age of AI at NYU Stern, followed by an incredible week at Transform in Las Vegas. There’s a lot of conversation right now about job displacement and the changing nature of work. For a decade, we’ve said predictability is decreasing. This year, it feels like it’s gone. If you listen to AI nihilists, AGI is...
