Community
I love places and events relating to Technology, Entrepreneurship, and Philanthropy.
TED Salon June 2019
In the NYC HQ of TED Conferences, occasionally they host small private events — an opportunity to meet incredibly interesting people, and also to get a mid-week jolt of ideas and energy from a handful of fresh speakers.
AIGA NY Summer Soirée 2019
The AIGA NY had a wonderful cocktail party at the Museum of Art and Design — where I got to have conversations with several design legends. #humbled
TED World Theatre
Proud to be included in this discussion about the upcoming TED2019 conference. On the video wall were some of my fellow TEDx producers from around the world, participating in realtime.
Inside Risk
What would you do if you discovered that an employee was being held hostage by kidnappers? This incredible leadership training program recreated a real case with just that circumstance.
Founders’ Roundtable Holiday Party
I look forward to this event every year… a time to relax with “my people”, a well-curated community of entrepreneurs.
Bennington College Board of Trustees
Honored to be invited to participate in a discussion among stakeholders at my alma mater.
Date Night at the UN
It’s not every night we meet a Head of State when we go out in NYC… this experience at the United Nations was pretty special!
TEDFestNYC 2018
500 TEDx producers from around the world gathered in Brooklyn — to share ideas, trade best practices, and make friends.
Power of Collaboration at the UN
The 5th Annual “Power of Collaboration” Global Summit at the United Nations was great, even though the closest I got to former UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon was taking a selfie with his portrait — in tapestry form.
Cadillac House
The first “Founders Roundtable” of 2018, one of my favorite meetings for established entrepreneurs, was hosted by the wonderful design and VR team at Cadillac.
Founders’ Roundtable Holiday Party
Great to catch up with old friends, and meet new ones, at one of my favorite clubs for established entrepreneurs, the Founders’ Roundtable.
Meet the Moderns at Parsons
Four iconic designers who together defined the looks of 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and beyond… all together for one spectacular discussion! I felt privileged to hear the thinking behind their works.
Founders’ Roundtable at NYSE
TED NYC “How to Build the Future”
In a theatre inside the NYC HQ of TED Conferences, presenters bring magic to the stage on a small red circle!
Luxury Technology Show
A showcase of new high-end gadgets.
Media For Social Impact at UN
#MFSI2017 brought together several hundred media executives, to explore ways we can use our resources to advance the world’s Global Goals.
WIRED Business Conference 2017
This annual “meet the greats” event from WIRED is always something I look forward to. This year, I got to meet Lord Norman Foster, the architect who created the new $5B Apple Park.
TEDFest 2017 Conference for TEDxProducers
500 TEDx producers from around the world convened in Brooklyn, to watch TED2017 via livestream — and get to know each other. It was a wonderful time!
Literacy for Incarcerated Teens
Proud to be at a fundraiser supporting Galinsky’s “LIT” program, which helps youths to stay out of jail – by giving them the basic education they should have received earlier in life.
WIRED Business Conference 2016
One of my annual favorites, WIRED magazine honors its “Next List”, of upcoming people who are creating the future. Best announcement: Star Wars is being designed into Augmented Reality by the guy who did the special effects for The Matrix!
