I was just accepted to this conference that lists some pretty famous speakers. (Link: https://www.ycombinator.com/blog/ai-startupschool)
But will I really meet them?
For each speaker:
resolves YES if I have a personal interaction with them (one-on-one or small-group) such that I’d feel it’s accurate to say that I “met” the person
resolves 50% if I see them physically but don’t have a personal interaction
resolves NO otherwise (eg if they’re only a speaker on Zoom)
I don’t plan to be aggressive in trying to meet these people, but I would be interested in the opportunity if it arose.
General policy for my markets: In the rare event of a conflict between my resolution criteria and the agreed-upon common-sense spirit of the market, I may resolve it according to the market's spirit or N/A, probably after discussion.
