Meeting Summary

🌊 Wave Website Consolidation

The central focus of this meeting was consolidating the Wave event website into a single, streamlined landing page. Currently, the Wave site and a separate ticket page exist independently, creating a fragmented buyer journey — and with the European volunteer team in Lisbon actively running pop-up events, and the Time and Space marketing agency pressing hard for updated materials for ad campaigns, the urgency to get this cleaned up was palpable (03:32).

James confirmed that Munya has been working in Figma [tag="webflow"] on redesign concepts — no changes pushed to Webflow yet — and the plan is to merge the Wave and ticket pages into one unified page, incorporating all the structural notes Mariko had compiled during her drive from LA to Flagstaff (07:04). The goal is a tighter, more intentional page with clear calls to action, the speaker lineup front and center, community videos and quotes accessible without deep scrolling, and a navigation bar that lets returning visitors jump directly to what they need — tickets, FAQ, testimonials — rather than grinding through a long scroll (01:13:55).

James also proposed using Airtable [tag="airtable"] to manage the speaker lineup rather than the manual folder-and-filename approach used previously. Speakers can be entered into Airtable with a status toggle, and the site will update automatically when a speaker is marked as ready to publish (05:49). This was quickly agreed upon as the right move.

🎟️ Geolocation-Based Ticket Pricing

Hera outlined the ticketing challenge: two separate Ticket Tailor events had been created to serve US dollar and euro pricing, but the goal is now to have a single Wave page where the correct ticket widget appears automatically based on the visitor's location (10:40). James identified a free geolocation API that handles up to 1,000 requests per day and said he could have the location detection script live on the Wave page the same evening (12:11).

The agreed UX approach: the page defaults to the visitor's local currency based on IP detection, with a visible toggle button — "Switch to USD" or equivalent — so that, for example, an American traveling in Europe can still pay in dollars if that suits their bank (15:27). As an interim measure while the geolocation script is being implemented, Hera suggested adding clearly visible buttons in both the hero section and near the ticket widget at the bottom of the page, linking directly to the appropriate checkout for European visitors (21:50). A reciprocal USD button will also be added to the Cascais page (25:21).

The current confirmed pricing structure is a base of $650 USD for entrance, converted to the euro equivalent, with scholarship discount codes handling deeper discounts rather than separate price tiers. Scholarship applications trigger automated code delivery — no manual intervention needed (36:37).

🤖 Matching System & Assessment Progress

James walked through the next major app frontier: the matching feature (37:41). The UI is already built. The backend challenge is generating a score matrix efficiently — rather than running a computationally heavy algorithm across every user pair, the first layer of matching will distill each user's tags, domains, and seeking/offering data into simple numeric scores. Users with closely matching numbers get a high match score; divergent profiles get a low one. This approach is computationally lightweight and scales as the user base grows.

The second layer brings in Claude [tag="claude"] — feeding each user's "About Me" and purpose responses alongside their tag data into an agentic prompt that generates qualitative match analysis. Starting with the top 25 numeric matches per person, Claude outputs a readable explanation of why two people should connect. These results will be saved so that matched users can share them — "the HoloBot said we should connect, check this out" — without requiring the other person to run their own process (42:00).

[technology="Intelligent Matching Algorithms"]

Mariko reflected at length on her own assessment experience, noting that it felt accurate, reflective, and trustworthy — exactly the quality signal needed for the matching layer to feel credible to new users (46:52). The team agreed that assessments will be especially powerful when they start confirming what users already intuitively know about their relationships with colleagues, building trust in the system's suggestions for people they don't yet know.

[technology="Assessment Systems"]

James pointed to broader potential: beyond individual matching, assessments can help working groups understand their collective makeup — team strengths, team shadows, who needs support, who should lead on what. This framing positions the tools not just as onboarding features but as ongoing collaboration infrastructure (51:14).

🌐 Global Broadcast & Ecosystem Growth Vision

Mariko shared that a contract with Hubcast Media and Peter Young is nearly finalized for a global live broadcast of the Wave event (59:52). The strategic opportunity here is significant: rather than simply streaming on Hubcast's platform, the team wants to route global viewers directly into the Holomovement ecosystem — requiring profile creation to access the stream, enabling live chat, and offering donation options including monthly giving. The profile becomes the ticket in (01:04:27).

James noted that if viewers are required to create a profile to tune in, they're immediately inside the platform — and will discover everything else that's there (01:04:33). This also sets up the 2027 vision: a fully hybrid event where Holon hubs in cities around the world host local viewing parties and potentially broadcast their own live feeds — rooftop concerts, community gatherings — feeding into a central broadcast. The Wave event team wants to test a few of these nodes with existing Holon hubs (Asheville, DC, Sedona, and ideally one in Australia or Asia) as a pilot for the 2027 model (01:02:20).

James also shared a prototype media archive interface he'd built for a separate art project — a globe-based [tag="mapbox"] player with filters by location, event, and experience, with a pop-out video player that stays active while browsing (01:07:14). This architecture maps directly onto what the Holomovement ecosystem needs for archiving keynotes, performances, and community media from events. Videos could be uploaded within 48 hours of recording and made available for on-demand viewing, organized by speaker or session.

💭 Technology as Collective Infrastructure

A broader conversation emerged around how to frame the platform's value — particularly in philanthropic funding contexts. Mariko described a recent funding call where someone questioned whether donors could really invest in "technology," and the team reframed it: the sell isn't the tech stack, it's the vision of what the technology makes possible (53:08).

James put it clearly: most technology today is optimized for individual users and individual psychology — selling things to single people. The Holomovement platform is building toward something rarer — tools optimized for collectives, for understanding cultural groups, for facilitating interconnectivity between beings and communities (56:13). If aligned groups can adopt similar toolsets, learn from each other, and rapidly iterate on what actually aids transformative impact — sharing formats, community engagement approaches, facilitation practices across the network — that shared learning is itself enormously valuable from a research and impact perspective (54:37).

Mariko flagged this framing as something worth pulling directly into funding decks (55:47).

James Redenbaugh

  • Implement geolocation API script on the Wave page so the correct ticket widget auto-displays by region, with a manual currency toggle for override (12:11)
  • Add interim Euro and USD buttons to the Wave page hero section and ticket widget area, and a reciprocal USD button to the Cascais page (22:07)
