1/ We took a risk last year and completely transformed our @MicroConf events. Starting in April 2022, we shifted the focus from talks to forging connections between founders. 🔥🔥
2/ For the past 12 years MicroConfers have raved about the value of the hallway track. But those conversations were reserved for lunches and evenings, since we had 9 speakers over 2 days. But last year we reduced our speaker count to 6, and our most recent event in Europe had 4.

This is one of the worst communicated price increases I've seen. It harkens back to the Drip increase of 2019 (I was already gone, folks), and at least one of Intercom's.
They did one thing right and made a lot of fumbles with this increase. Join me below for a looksy at both.
To begin, I have no dog in this fight. This change doesn't impact me (I don't sell on Gumroad). But I was struck by the number of landmines they stepped on, and given how much thought I've given to pricing (and price increases) over the years, figure we can all learn from it.
