The d.school class on Creating Infectious Action that I teach with Perry Klebhan, Diego Rodriguez (of Metacool fame), Michael Dearing, and Joe Mellin is hosting a conference at Stanford next Thursday, April 30th from 3:15 to 6:00 on the Stanford Campus, at the Braun Auditorium in the Mudd Chemistry Building. We have great speakers who will be talking about what it takes to spread ideas, as you can see from the poster, they are from Facebook, Linkedin, Apple, Netflix, and Ning — plus we Stanford's own Huggy Rao will be talking about his research on spreading social movements, drawing on his book Market Rebels. It is free and open to the public. But as we need to plan for drinks and such, we need an estimate of how many people will be there. Please RSVP to Joe on Facebook here or via email at ciarsvp@gmail.com. This is our fourth year doing this — last year was fantastic and the room was overflowing.
P.S. The d.school is also hold another conference — on sustainability a week later at the same time and same place. I will do a post about that soon.
