Highlights from PICNIC
« Read the full blog
Since 2006, PICNIC has been bringing together creative and inspired entrepreneurial minds and takes place annually in Amsterdam. This collaborative event is part conference, part workshop, part networking and connects people across all disciplines. PICNIC provides the platform for forward thinkers to create a meaningful conversation about today’s evolving economy. This year’s major themes focus on new media technologies, establishing a sustainable economy and the close personal relationship between people and their mobile devices.
CRAVE foundress Melody Biringer jet-setted to Amsterdam to attend the festivities and has been sharing her experiences in the blogosphere.
Some of her favorite highlights from the speakers:
- When the economy is down you need to have a lot more confidence
- #1 thing, just make/do something cool
- Keep going, even though things are looking dark
- Look local, set up satellite locations anywhere
- Heroes are mentors you can look up to
- It is not a dog eat dog world. There is enough for everybody to go around, in the end, dogs don’t eat dogs
- Entrepreneurship is not a job it is a lifestyle that is with you all the time
- Start things when the market is down, that is when you can build
- Younger entrepreneurs are thinking a lot more green than older ones
- Build a green company with a profitably objective so you can keep re-investing in a green initiative
- Be big, passionate and bright
