Hear from
previous attendees
I can’t reiterate enough that this is my favorite conference I’ve been to in my career. I had more honest conversations, more laughs, more bring-you-to-tears moments from a professional standpoint this week than I have in months.
Everything felt authentic, human, and most of all hopeful.
Co-Lab painted a thoughtful and hopeful picture of the future of research.
We have an important role to play in shaping the future with intention and stewarding trust and meaning in a world transformed by AI.
Thanks to all the speakers and to the team at Dscout who put on one of the best research conferences I’ve attended.
Just back from Dscout’s Senior Leadership Co-Lab and still buzzing from the energy in the room. The talks and conversations pushed me to reflect on the state of research and what it means to grow as a leader in this moment.
The speaker lineup was inspiring, and the design, provocation, and community made it unlike any other conference.
