Speaking

I regularly speak at events about design, startups, open source and how to organize tech events where everyone feels welcome. Need a speaker? Drop me a mail at jonny@confetti.events.

How to organize events where everyone feel welcome

I've organized a lot of tech events and I've always been passionate to make everyone feel welcome. In this presention I share my best tips, much based on my experience from Hackaway.

Running a design driven startup

Confetti is not the only event platform out there but it's by many considered the most beautiful and easy to use. In this presentation I talk about how we think about design and what we learnt since starting our company.

The Confetti story

Confetti has a pretty unique story. We chose early to bootstrap the company and we did so by talking dogfooding to the next level.
