I’ll be playing Angelino next week with a few Southern California events–do join if you’re in town.
On Wednesday, November 4, I’m looking forward to the next Blog Out Loud event about creative and design work (Design Within Reach being a topical host). A recent BOL panel at Bell Jar in SF had a knowledgeable lineup, and this time around I’m honored to join Gregory Han (Apartment Therapy, Unplggd), Laure Joliet (AT, At Home, Dwell), Alissa Walker (Gelatobaby, Fast Company, GOOD), and Haily Zaki (American Express OPEN Forum, Curbed LA, Inhabitat). A group who can multi-task, no doubt.
Next Thursday, LuckyNY co-founder Jonathan Rosen and I will be talking about sports and online media for the event “WHERE’S WALDO: Finding Social Influencers & Decreasing Your Costs.” I’m looking forward to the group, which includes 5ones’ Cameron Olthius, Scott Tilton of Loop’d, photographer Jonathan Nafarrete, and bigMETHOD’s Greg Cargill. It will be at the great cost of free at Blank Spaces and moderated by PacSun social media manager Denise Garciano.
Oxt weekend (phrase courtesy of developer Jeremy Knight) will be the Opportunity Green conference at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management. I’ve been looking forward to this for quite a while, and not just because Yves Bahar and Business Week innovation editor Heather Walters will be speaking (to say nothing of Story of Stuff creator Annie Leonard). Seeing Johnson & Johnson and Proctor & Gamble planning sustainability initiatives alongside the X Prize team seems to be a step change to me, and one that indicates that the economic benefits of reducing energy usage is being recognized on a large scale. I’m bummed that I won’t be able to participate in the SF-to-LA bike ride (Tour de OG) but excited to take part.
