"When we first thought about who our audience for the magazine was, we imagined a group of people who were a community, but didn't know they were a community. They were a set of people who shared the same set of values, the same mindset about work. But we still didn't quite know who that audience was -- until you all showed up. For me, it's been mind-blowing to see this community come together before our eyes."
-- Fast Company Founding Editor Bill Taylor

"This is the un-conference."
