Would You Go to Gen X Con?

An in-person event that celebrates the latchkey kids.

Okay, hear me out.

I have an idea stuck in my brain like a splinter in my mind, as Morpheus would say. And I want to run it by you.

I’m calling it Gen X Con. A conference built for and by Gen X.

Imagine being surrounded by smart, interesting people your age who actually speak your language.

• There’s an expo hall with brands and products that get us.

• Panels and conversations about the stuff we’re dealing with: career pivots, financial stress, dealing with ageism, figuring out what’s next when nobody handed us a map.

• And of course — good food, comfy couches, cocktails galore, and dancing to our favorite hits from the ‘80s and ‘90s. Maybe even a live appearance from a classic band.

Would you be in?

I’d love to find out if this is something Gen Xers actually want. And I can think of no one better crowd than the Small Talk community to tell me if I’m crazy — or onto something.

So here’s the ask: Would you take this 5-minute questionnaire and help me figure out if this idea has legs?

No commitment. No ticket sales. Just your honest take on whether this thing should exist.
