SPEAKING
I've given talks for small intimate audiences that fit into large conference rooms, as well as 5000-person developer events to 70,000 attendee festivals.
My talks cover the gamut from product design, user experience, social media, startups, technology, society and culture, media, the future, human behavior and relationships, and more.
I've put together workshops and other consulting programs for startups, small companies & enterprises, banks (including the Federal Reserve and American Express).

Past Events
I have been speaking publicly since 2004. My first talk was on open source and citizen activism, but I’ve come a long way since then. I’ve participated in over 100 speaking engagements (presentations, panels, workshops, and live Q&A) in dozens of cities over the world, including two TEDx events, SXSW, Google I/O, Microsoft’s Future Decoded, and more.
You can see some of my past presentations on SpeakerDeck, Colliq, and Slideshare.
