Technology Vision. Technology Power. Your Library.
It was such an excellent time presenting at TEDx FoCo in September – I had the opportunity to speak to a non-library audience about some of the challenges libraries are facing today. It’s a TED-style version of the talk I did at SXSWi (called “The Great Library Swindle: Your Rights Are at Risk”) earlier this year, and a little more relaxed than the Ignite talk I did on the same subject.
The day was full of excellent presentations – go to the TEDx FoCo site to see them all!
I just wrapped up a mini-tour — speaking in three cities in Colorado in three days. Yowsa!
It was great to spend time with the Marmot User’s Group annual meeting in Grand Junction, Colorado on 9/20 — what a great group! I gave the Thursday keynote – “The Great Library Swindle: Your Rights Are At Risk”
The CoPLA eMedia Smackdown (simultaneous live event at five locations in Colorado, hooked together by technology but with a focus on the in-person event via excellent facilitators) on 9/21 was off the hook! I was live in Durango, Colorado (as speaker/facitator/host/tech :0), and the level of engagement from the participants was outstanding! We are planning to make all of the content from the day available soon, but in the meantime you can see my kick-off for the day here, followed by a presentation from the leader of the Colorado Independent Publisher’s Association: http://www.spreecast.com/
Finally, on 9/22 I was honored to be among some most excellent speakers at TEDx FoCo in Fort Collins, Colorado – presenting the “Swindle” talk to advocate for libraries. Video from all of the TEDx FoCo talks should be available by November!
