Looking forward to Kinnernet 2008

On Sunday night I will be leaving for Israel and next week I will be amongst a group of people attending, contributing to and participating in Kinnernet 2008. Of all the events I attend each year, I look forward to attending and participating in Kinnernet the most. Kinnerent provides digital food for the soul and is something to be experienced.

The genius behind Kinnernet is Yossi Vardi and the eclectic group of his friends who are invited to be part of the community. Personally I’m honored to be invited and have the opportunity to participate in the experience.

Kinnernet is all about “bottom up” community, “bottom up” content and offers the people who make up the community the opportunity for “extreme social networking” in a non-virtual sense and in the end provides an opportunity for ideas to be exchanged, friends to meet, friends to socialize and an opportunity to learn something new, get inspired and in the end leave with a new perspective on a wide range of topics.

Last year was a GREAT event (see: 1, 2, 3). Since first attending my first Kinnernet in 2006, I have met a number of people who are now amongst my circle of friends. This year I'm looking forward to leading a workshop and participating in a number of activities.

For a sense of what one can expect to experience at Kinnernet, please take a look at the letter my 2006 bunk mate Tom Evslin wrote back to his Mom during Kinnernet 2006.
