About this event
Devconnect can be intense in the best way: dense ideas, fast conversations, packed schedules, and very little room to actually digest what you’ve been part of. This field trip is a deliberate shift in pace — a chance to leave the conference bubble, get out on the water, and spend a day in a more grounded setting with people who care about regeneration, community, and meaningful connection. Set in the Delta after Devconnect, this gathering is designed for people who want more than another indoor meetup. We’ll meet in Tigre station in the morning, take a boat together, and head toward Belén de Escobar for an in-person experience that blends social connection, reflection, and time in a living landscape. What Is This? This is a regenerative field trip: part community meetup, part post-conference reset, and part shared exploration of place. Rather than centering screens, slides, or a formal networking format, the event creates space for people to connect through movement, conversation, and attention to the environment around them. The "disconnect" in the title matters. The point is not to squeeze in one more high-output session after Devconnect. It’s to step away from the usual event rhythm and make room for slower thinking, real exchange, and the kind of conversations that tend to happen when people are outside, traveling together, and not rushing to the next talk. Expect a social and community-oriented atmosphere rather than a highly structured conference agenda. This is still a meetup in the sense that you’ll meet others with overlapping interests, but the format is more organic and place-based than a typical networking event. If you’ve been looking for a way to process ideas from Devconnect through a regenerative lens — or simply want to be around thoughtful people in a less performative setting — this day is built for that. What to Expect The day begins with a shared meetup at Tigre station at 9:50 AM, so the group can take a boat together. That journey is part of the experience, not just transportation. Traveling as a group creates a natural on-ramp for conversation, connection, and a clear transition from conference mode into something calmer and more present. Once underway, expect a field-trip dynamic: moving through a distinct local environment, spending time together in person, and engaging with the setting rather than treating it as background scenery. The day is likely to feel conversational and relational, with space for spontaneous discussion, observation, and meeting people beyond quick intros. You can expect elements like: A shared departure and boat ride from Tigre Time outdoors in and around the Delta context Casual but meaningful social connection Opportunities to reflect on Devconnect ideas in a different environment A meetup atmosphere that favors presence over performance Because this is framed as a regenerative field trip, come ready for a format that is intentionally less rigid. The value comes from participating fully: being on time, traveling with the group, noticing the landscape, and staying open to the kinds of conversations that emerge when people aren’t confined to a venue schedule. Why Attend If Devconnect filled your notebook but not your nervous system, this is a useful counterbalance. A different setting can help ideas settle. Conversations tend to get better when they happen side by side instead of across a crowded room, and a day outside the main event flow often creates the conditions for more honest, memorable exchange. This is also a strong fit if you care about the relationship between technology, community, and regeneration. Even without a formal lecture format, being with others who are drawn to those themes can sharpen your thinking and widen your sense of what comes next after a major gathering. You might attend for any of these reasons: You want real connection after a conference-heavy week You’re interested in regenerative perspectives, not just digital ones You prefer small-group energy over another packed venue You want to meet people in a context that feels more human and less transactional You value place-based experiences that change the tone of a conversation There’s also simple value in doing something memorable with intention. Instead of ending Devconnect with more noise, you’ll spend time in a setting that invites attention, perspective, and a different kind of community experience. Practical Details This is an in-person event in the Belén de Escobar, Argentina area, with the group meeting first at Tigre station. The plan is to meet at 9:50 AM in order to take the boat together, with the event listed for Monday, November 24 at 10:00 AM GMT-3. The meetup point matters: arriving on time will help the group depart together and keep the day flowing smoothly. Since the boat ride is part of the shared experience, plan your morning so you can be present at the meeting location a few minutes early rather than trying to catch up later. A few useful assumptions to plan around: This is a field trip, not a seated indoor event You should be prepared for travel as a group by boat The experience is social and community-centered, with networking happening naturally The setting is likely best enjoyed if you come ready for outdoor movement and changing conditions If this sounds like the kind of post-Devconnect experience you were hoping existed — less polished, more alive; less programmed, more relational — then make the trip. Meet the group in Tigre, board the boat, and give yourself a day to reconnect through place, people, and a slower pace.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want your post-Devconnect time to feel more grounded, relational, and alive than another standard meetup. - You’ve been at Devconnect and want space to process what you heard through conversation, reflection, and a change of environment. - You’re drawn to **regeneration, community, and place-based experiences**, and you’re curious about how those themes connect with the people gathering around Devconnect. - You enjoy meeting people in a setting that feels natural rather than transactional — walking, traveling together, and talking without the pressure of a formal networking room. - You’d rather spend a day outdoors with thoughtful people than squeeze in one more indoor event, panel, or high-speed social scene. - You’re the kind of person who values shared experiences as much as shared ideas, and you know that some of the best conversations happen in transit, on the water, or while exploring a new place. - You can make the morning meetup in Tigre on time and are up for the group boat ride as part of the experience. If you want a softer landing after the intensity of Devconnect and you’re open to a more organic, human format, you’ll likely feel at home here.
