Networks like this are extremely powerful for releasing potential energy. As much as I'd love to see the talks, it wouldn't be 5% the value of being in the room.
That obituary question is a bit morbid for my taste - but this sounds like an interesting event. Reminds me of yc startup school but more personal.
It's a ridiculous question. 99.9% of all obituaries look the same. An announcement of the death, maybe a quick mention of career, a list of close surviving relatives, and information about memorial services. I would just submit that.

Ugh... what a terrible selection…
The obituary question is so insincere and disingenuous.

1. What do you want to accomplish with your life's work?
2. What have you accomplished so far to get there?
3. What's next?
YC produces a ton of great resources that are very helpful, but this is one that makes me scratch my head.

What mention of career would you like ?

Obviously they want to know what you would like to be remembered for having accomplished. They don’t literally care what you want on your obit. They are asking what you would like to be known for to future generations.
