# fnconf
fn/fun/funk/functional + conference. Link [to register](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScqK4XzaMTobKjpi4P_DkigrSbni2XsfqL59qdkQ9XRC-WwRw/viewform).
Get your func on at fnconf, an inter-disciplinary meeting of minds to facilitate high-value trades between technomaths[^1] and improve our negotiation skills.
[^1]: technology + diplomat = technomath.
## Why
> "For important negotiations we don't send telegrams; we send ambassadors." - Alan Kay
The problem with ambassadors is they only speak one language...typically French. But to travel between worlds, you need to have each of your bi-lingual legs in a different land. To negotiate across borders, you must be fluent in two languages, typically business and tech. You need a diplomat.
## What
fnconf is an informal 1-day/1-night gathering near a beach, a braai and some funky tunes.
- One day.
- Lightning talks (no PowerPoint).
- One night.
- One braai.
## Who
Do you spend most of your time negotiating between disciplines? fnconf welcomes:
- Engineers - embedded, software, industrial, chemical, mechanical, biomedical, industrial, civil
- Mathematicians
- Financiers
- Marketers
- Negotiators
