For 5 years, we ran Brooklyn Beta, an industry-leading web conference that brought together some of the nicest, most talented designers and developers in the world. We had some pretty incredible speakers like Cory Booker (future president?), Seth Godin, Geraldine Laybourne, John Maeda, Tavi Gevinson (future president?), Ira Glass, Janeni Dhulchaointigh, and Reggie Watts, just to name a few.
