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.
