Our next headline announcement: Anil Dash

In the context of Eamon’s post celebrating our love of stories, it’s a pleasure to announce our second headline speaker this year: Anil Dash.

Anil has been telling stories on his blog for 25 years. He is an optimist, filled with hope that we can course-correct on things like building a better web. He is also—where appropriate—critical of the status quo, and seeks to be part of shaping a more equitable future.

We’re incredibly proud that Anil has agreed to be part of This Next Thing 2024 and we can’t wait to see who his reciprocal speaker will be. No matter who it is, it will be an honour to give them a platform and share their message.
