A Letter about Responsive

In the beginning, Responsive.org wasn’t a conference. It was a question.

What if how we’ve worked for the last hundred years didn’t have to define work in the future?

There were no guarantees anyone would show up. We expected only a small group of people willing to explore a new way of thinking about work. Instead, hundreds came and filled the room with their curiosity and courage. They spoke on stage, shared what they knew, and listened.

That first gathering became more than an event. It became a community.

Over the years, that question has grown into a movement of leaders and teams reimagining how organizations work. Since 2015, we’ve explored company culture, remote and distributed work, the acceleration of AI, and the messy process of collaboration.

The answers to that first question keep changing. But the question has not.

2026 marks ten years of Responsive Conference — of asking questions, building, and learning together.

Responsive Conference 2026 will look at what it means to build organizations that can adapt in an age of accelerating change and fractured attention.

The future of work isn’t just about responding to change. It’s also about people — about how we pay attention, learn, and work together. That’s what Responsive.org is about. And that’s what Responsive Conference 2026 will celebrate.

Tickets are on sale now! Prices go up October 31.

Until next time!

Thanks for being part of the Responsive community,
Robin and the Responsive team
