October 2, 2012 — Blogging, Dino Dogan, NewYork, TribeUpNYC

Triberr held the first TribeUpNYC on the equinox, 22 September, 2012. I flew in the day before to enjoy the neighborhood with some friends. I was very happy to be in the city after so many years of absence. The weather was perfect, the crowd was the right size, and the speakers all delivered value in different ways.  The face of Triberr is Dino Dogan.  He has a booming voice with a cute tiny accent.  He is welcoming and very self assured.  This event was like no others because this tribe is itself unique.  The material presented was valuable and current. It was the combination of the hospitality provided by Media Labs and the sponsors and the high quality of every aspect of the event that created a memorable afternoon.  To be true to the tribe’s core value of influence over traffic the small group was treated to delicious party food and drink while given plenty of time and space to schmooze.  No name tags, very little Powerpoint, and one guy won a new iPad in the drawing…this was my kind of conference. I am not so much encouraging extra participation in the next New York TribeUP because it was outstanding to be there off peak ( for the first one).  There is a plan to spread the Tribal spirit throughout the land.  I think that is a good idea.  Let’s TribeUp Tucson!!  ( not the same as cowboy up for those of you who live here).
