155,427 miles. 66 flights. 20+ countries. Spent the last year turning Framer events into a full world tour meeting founders, designers, and people just trying to build dope things. Learned a ton. Here’s some of it 🧵 (shoutout @Flighty for tracking all this)

If you’re working on something in this space or want to bring something like this to your city or globe, I’d love to hear from you Last tour started as just an idea. This one feels like it could be bigger.

So I’m thinking about doing this again But this time centered around AI, design, and what happens when you actually bring people together to figure this stuff out Not just panels. Not just networking. Just real space to build, think, and connect.

I saw AI happening in every city Some people excited. Some people terrified. Most people just trying to figure it out. The tech is moving fast but what we actually need are better experiences to work through it together. Not just tools, but people around a table.

Everyone talks about scaling community but real community doesn’t scale. It spreads. The best nights weren’t the big flashy events. They were 15 people in a room, talking until 2am, walking away feeling like something just clicked

I saw this everywhere The brands that showed up and were present? People remembered them. Talked about them. Became advocates. The ones that just wrote checks? forgettable. You can’t outsource presence. It’s the difference between a transaction and a relationship.

The thing most brands get wrong they sponsor events but don’t show up. They send swag but no people. Your customers don’t want your logo on a banner. They want to meet you. Talk to you. See that you actually care about what they’re building.

Biggest thing I learned: just show up People don’t remember your slides or your pitch. They remember if you were actually there. Present, listening, genuinely engaged. Being there in person is the most powerful thing you can do for your brand or community.

Every city felt different Tokyo had this quiet curiosity. Copenhagen was all warmth. NYC had that chaotic energy. But everywhere I went, same thing: people are starving for real connection!! Not another zoom call. Actual rooms. Actual conversations.

If you’re in Barcelona you don’t want to miss this one!!

After 75 flights and 60+ cities in less than a year, one thing became clear: It’s time to build something new. Less screen. More presence. Something IRL. More to come.

I hosted first-ever @framer House in Austin with @andruyeung! S/O to our speakers from @scale_AI, @okta, @monterail, & Kits AI for making it an incredible event 👏🏼 Thinking about bringing Framer House to another city—where should we go next? 👀

It’s nice to see @framer around Austin for the week!! Excited for our Framer House tomorrow … curious who wants me to livestream the talks 👀

Who wants to build the @framer community with me? I’m looking for someone to help grow & connect Framer’s global community. If you love bringing people together, create meaningful experiences, and making an impact - drop a comment below Must be based in North America
