Speechifying

Lotta public speaking in the next few weeks. Most are local. If you’re interested in technology and urbanism come on out for a conversation.

I’m particularly excited about that last one as I get to share a panel with Chris Vein, Nick Grossman, Abhi Nemani, Nigel Jacob, and Rachel Sterne. Perhaps the conversation will focus on just what the hell I am doing on the same stage as such accomplished folk. If you’ll be at SXSW, you should definitely drop by for this one.

    And, if you add Susan Crawford to your G+ circles, you can watch John talking to my class at Harvard’s Kennedy School today, Tues. Feb. 21, at 4pm Chicago time. The name of the class is “Solving Problems Using Technology.” The site for the class is here: https://sites.google.com/site/dpi682spring2012/
