I'm speaking at the Commonwealth Club this Wednesday
I'll be giving a talk with Kevin O'Malley of Tech Talk this Wednesday, November 12 at the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. It's a new kind of venue for me—Kevin describes the Club as more downtown San Francisco than South Park—and I'm really looking forward to getting some of Stamen's ideas out in front of the business community.
The title of the talk is Beyond the Web We Know: What Comes After 2.0? I'll be talking about how Stamen's work with visualizing vast, live and deep data sets can serve as a guide to what's coming. I hope to touch on some of Mike's and Kevin's ideas about what 2.5 looks like, where the activities of small groups in a financial downturn are the real places to watch for innovation.
If you're in San Francisco, please consider yourself invited. You can buy tickets here.
Also, Mike's just back from a whirlwind trip to Tokyo, where he gave by all accounts a rousing talk at Web Directions East; it all happened so fast that I didn't get the chance to announce it before he left and came back.
