We had to hit pause on This is Optimism but we’ll be back.

Thanks for your interest in This is Optimism

Despite our best efforts, we weren’t able to make the event happen in the end.

To everyone who bought a ticket, our speakers, volunteers and everyone who helped or supported us in some way, thank you. Your support meant a lot to us.

And, while we’re obviously disappointed, we had a lot of fun organising it.

In hindsight, we were probably a bit too ambitious (optimistic, ha!) with the scale of it. But we can’t shake the feeling that the world still needs this message.

And for that reason, we will return!

In the meantime, stay optimistic.

Love,

The Berst Team, x
