LTSP2026 Is Not a Webinar: Treat It Like a Lab Prep #1
Francis Wade reframes the Long-Term Strategy Conference 2026 around a simple but important idea: this is not passive screen time, it is an interactive experience designed to produce insight and, potentially, transformation. He explains why that distinction matters, how old webinar habits can sabotage the experience, and what participants should do differently before and during the conference. In this solo video, Francis shares a personal framework for getting the most out of the event by actively doing exercises, minimizing distractions, and preparing to engage with AI-driven personas and live prompts. He argues that the value comes from participation, not just attendance.
