Some past appearances:

June 14, 2018, in Detroit, MI: I spoke at an event hosted by Tech Town Detroit that focused on cross-sector collaboration, asking:

  • How do we keep our intake valves open to new ideas and fresh thinking?
  • What can we learn by bending conventional rules until they break or by studying the artists and hackers who invariably signal the future?
  • Where can we find unexpected partners?

After the keynote, the audience worked together in an interactive workshop designed by Joyce Lee, MD, MPH, and led by industry experts and innovators. Crain’s Detroit Business published a Q&A that previews some of the topics I raised. You can also check out this Twitter moment devoted to the event and follow  for ongoing discussions.
