POP!TECH SPECIAL OFFER
A few years ago, I had the fun of speaking at the annual Pop!Tech conference, a wide-ranging confab on popular culture in the digital age. The conference is in Camden, Maine, a charming town full of Tocquevillian volunteers and semi-retired high-tech moguls (i.e., active investors)--just the combination you need to pull off a gathering like this. My friend Andrew Zolli is shepherding this year's program--the theme is "Sea Change"--and I'll be speaking on The Substance of Style. (And I've promised Bob Metcalfe that I won't read my speech.)
The conference is extending a special discount to Dynamist.com readers--$400 off the early-bird price of $1495. The catch is that you have to register by June 30. Here's Andrew's pitch:
The PopTech conference program is shaping up, and we have an opportunity to offer a special rate to readers of Dynamist.com! The discount is *substantial* - $400 off the $1495 admission fee. For the experience participants are going to have, this is a steal.
To be fair to everyone else, the offer is good only until June 30, at which time the rates will increase. That's why we want to get the word out right away.
Who is going to be there? Folks like...
* Geoffrey Ballard, the 'father' of the hydrogen fuel cell
* Constance Adams, the first architect to be hired by NASA to build 'liveable' spacecraft.
* Larry Lessig, head of the Stanford Center for Internet & Society
* Thomas Barnett, Leading theorist on the future of warfare at the Pentagon
* Juan Enriquez, author of As The Future Catches You and head of the HBS Life Sciences Program
* Golan Levin, digital artist extraordinaire
* Aubrey de Grey, pioneering Cambridge University anti-aging researcher
... and most importantly: Virginia Postrel! The final program will have more than 30 amazing speakers that I know will be mind-blowing.
To register, go here, where you'll see a special $1095 rate. If you run into any problems, email Andrew at andrew-at-zpluspartners.com. The current list of speakers is here.
