Our main event for 2016, "(r)Evolutions", took us full circle around the immensely creative talents of our speakers, who included the co-founder of Beakerhead, an Olympic gymnast, a guru of the world of work, and scientists using video game technology to better understand bodies.

Our main event for 2017, "Signal vs Noise", featured speakers ranging from astronauts and astronomers to inventors and poets to soldiers and young robot designers. All had one thing in common: their messages were clear signal that needed to cut through the noise of our crowded, every-day lives.

Every team needs an organized core, and Marcel is our project manager extraordinaire.

In true superhero fashion, by day he runs his own consultancy, MySimplifyCoach, and by night he wrangles us into some sort of order. You'll always see his ready smile and laugh at our various community salon meetups, and he'll be the guy taking care of the details at our main events and team meetings.
