Uneed Residency
I visited the Uneed Residency in Nantes, France, for a couple of days. Thomas organised it after going to a month-long hacker residency in Vietnam last year.
He's keen to grow this movement in Europe. It was a lot of fun and great to meet founders and marketers I know from social media (and also meet some new faces).
