🔄 Responsive 2025 Event Recap

Responsive 2025 was probably the best event we’ve ever created.

Where else can you meet a sloth, an armadillo, and a snake, eat popsicles, and talk about the future of work — all in one place?

We mixed things up this year with un-conferences, fishbowl conversations, and interview-in-the-round sessions that pulled everyone in. The conversations were timely, the energy was contagious, and the connections felt different in the best way.

We are partnering with the Culture First community for a free virtual recap to revisit the most talked-about moments, reconnect with the community, and keep the momentum going.

📍 Zoom | October 22 @ 10am PT/1pm ET

🎉 Responsive Conference 2026

Responsive has always been about exploring how we work – and how we want to work.

Next year, we’re turning our attention (literally) to attention – how it shapes our work and our organizations. In an age where everything is fighting for focus, how do we stay present enough to do work that matters?

Join us for two days of conversation, experimentation, and community.

Expect big ideas, tools, and new ways of learning together – from main stage talks and interactive workshops to un-conferences, creative sessions, and a few surprises along the way.

🎉 Let’s do it all again next year
🎟️ Early Bird discount ends on Oct. 31!
