Just wrapped two incredible days in Victoria with Andrew Wilkinson where we proved that not all business gatherings need to feel like conferences.
Here’s what happens when you bring together 80 fascinating minds who hate awkward small talk as much as you do:
Beyond the Traditional Conference
This wasn’t about name tags and PowerPoint presentations.
Instead, we experienced:
- Deep conversations that actually mattered
- Mastermind sessions that sparked real insights
- Intimate breakout groups where vulnerability wasn’t just welcomed—it was the point
- Watching Nick Gray work his MC magic in person (spoiler: he’s even better offline!)
- Seeing online heroes transform from avatars to real humans who share the same challenges
What People Took Home
The beauty of genuine connection is what it leaves you with.
- Inspiring conversations that went beyond the usual “what do you do?”
- Connections that felt real, not networked
- Fresh insights and learnings from shared scar tissue
- New acronyms to Google (because everyone was too busy connecting to pretend they knew everything)
- Apps discovered through organic conversations
- Podcast recommendations from people who’ve lived the stories
- Newsletters that came highly vouched for
- Stories that will influence decisions for years to come
- Encounters with leaders who were genuinely generous with their experiences
Why IP2 Hit Different
This wasn’t your typical Victoria business gathering. Here’s what made it special:
- Zero PowerPoints, 100% real talk
- Conversations continued from Tiny’s HQ view to late-night restaurant tables
- Digital relationships transformed into real friendships
- Every connection felt intentional, not forced
- Community vibes that outlasted the event itself
See you at IP3!
Because sometimes the best way to level up is to step away from the slides and into real conversations.
