    We’ve shown a few pictures from the FIRE Sessions, but we thought it would be fun to do a photo roundup so you could walk through the whole day. Enjoy!

    Uncross your arms and put a smile on that face, Cordell!

    Doddfather and Elizabeth carting the goods

    A mad dash to get everything in place.

    Shannon's crooning

    She’s got a voice and she’s not afraid to use it. Well, yeah, she kind of is. But her voice is seriously good.

    Megan checking people in

    Megan checking people in – what a lovely smile!

    Justin talking to Francois

    Justin is probably talking about Weirdo Toys. Why not? It’s awesome.

    Little early, Logan?

    Little early there, Logan? The coffee was really really good.

    Steve Knox

    Steve Knox reminding us that his talk is NOT about technology.

    Steve Knox answering questions

    This was by far one of the best Q+A sessions we’ve ever seen – 30 minutes of awesome questions. And we had to cut it off. Wait, I’m not supposed to use that phrase…

    Elizabeth and Megan leading our cohort

    Elizabeth and Megan leading the line to lunch. Kinda like kindergarten, right?

    Ooo, cool aura

    Pretty sweet place.

    Doddfather introducing the action counsel

    Yours truly welcoming everyone back from lunch.

    Francois is one smart guy

    This year we had something we called the Action Council. Basically you get to sit down with a brilliant mind and ask them anything you want. It was really, really cool and there were some wonderful, practical conversations.

    Geno's form of listening

    Geno listens better this way.

    John Moore has experience in spades

    Max had some really cool slides

    Max talked about how you can’t rip-off an experience. Great stuff.

    Three singers

    Justin, working on some double exposures. Wait, this is a triple. Dang.

    Double exposure

    Ok, here’s the double. And a dang cool one.

    I keep reading (and seeing) about the Fire Sessions, but I can’t seem to get a read on exactly. Is there a link that describes what the event is? Who participates etc?

    Hey Matt,

    Here’s a short description:

    Every year Brains on Fire hosts a very special, invite-only event for their employees, clients and select thought-leaders from around the country. The goal of the 4th annual FIRE Sessions is simple (and ambitious): we want to Fascinate, Inspire, Reward and Engage the minds of the 150 attendees by presenting ideas from top thinkers and cultivating conversation among talented people.
