More importantly, take matters into your own hands. Once we contact you, in about an hour,

SAVE THAT NUMBER!

========================================== Scenarios of 2016: Coming to Life on December 11. RSVPs Needed. ==========================================

In just about a month, a tradition comes back to life.

The first ?future of the infrastructure? scenario presentation since 2005 will take place in New York?s Greenwich Village, at the former ?Bottom Line? theatre.

Presented by students at NYU?s famous Interactive Telecommunications Program, these are fascinating glimpses of the interrelated future of new media and the global economy; and then a thought-provoking, freeform discussion follows.

We?ll be talking about these five ways the world might evolve by 2016 (7 years from now):

* ?Let Them Have Broadband:? Haves and have-nots in a world of discretionary information

* ?Little Brother is Micromanaging You:? Data goes super-abundant

* ?Migration of Privilege:? China and India eclipse the West

* ?There Goes Everybody:? A couple of pandemics change the game

* ?Barbarians at the Gates:? The end of intellectual property law as we know it

The presenters include: Alex Kauffmann, Amit Snyderman, Andrew Styer, Brian E. Jones, Bruno Kruse, Derek Chung, James Lamiell, Jason Rosado, John Dimatos, Jonathan Nachum, Jorge Just, Joshua Schelling, Joshua Kleiner, Madeline Jannotta, and Robert Carlsen, Sonaar Luthra, Thomas Robertson, Yasser Ansari, and Zoe Fraade-Blanar.

I will moderate. Please join us, if you can, on

Friday, December 11, 2009: 7-10 PM.

19 West 4th Street, Room 101 (between Mercer and Greene Streets, 2 blocks from Washington Square Park) New York, NY 10012 (The old Bottom Line theatre, now an NYU auditorium)

It?s free but email RSVP is needed.

* To RSVP: email itp.rsvp@nyu.edu with the word ?Future? in the subject line or first line of text. (That will let us know for sure that it?s for this event.)

I look forward to seeing you there.

JUST A REMINDER FOR THE 2 EVENTS TOMORROW!

All events are posted on the ITP events page: http://itp.nyu.edu/sigs/news/category/featured/

* Friday, November 20 at 3:30pm - Brady Forrest from O’Reilly

* Friday, November 20 at 6:30pm - Race and What Policy Can Learn from Technology

———————————————————————— ——————

SPECIAL EVENT Getting Out There Brady Forrest from O’Reilly Media Friday, November 20 3:30-5pm Room 447

I track technology trends and companies. I spend much of my time on the conference circuit. When I am not at an event I am usually blogging about technology. I’ve seen companies have a great product that just can’t tell their story or find the right places to tell it.

Many of you are already working on your product ideas. At this talk I’ll provide a survey of events, blogs and other venues for getting yourself and your ideas out there. I will share what I look for when I evaluate companies for OATV, our VC arm. Finally I will share my thoughts on current technology trends.

Bio: >> I work at O’Reilly Media tracking technology products, companies, >> trends and the people who make it happen. My focus has been on >> mapping, location-aware, web development, and startups. >> Increasingly I’ve started to pay attention to government data, >> interactive platforms, realtime data and open-source hardware. I >> live in the browser (and often on planes). I chair Where 2.0, a >> geo-location and sensing conference, and co-chairs the Web 2.0 >> Expo in SF and NYC. I co-founded Ignite, a geek event where >> speakers give structured 5 minute talks. Ignite has spread to over >> 60 cities around the world — including NYC. >> >> Just prior to O’Reilly, I worked as a PM at Microsoft. In the 90s >> I worked in Supply Chain Management. I live in Seattle and >> regularly build tech art for Burning Man. I was on a grant-funded >> team this past summer that built Steve the Robot HEAiD, a large >> computer vision system project that played music or sounds based >> on the movements of the people within.

SPECIAL EVENT Race and What Policy Can Learn from Technology Raymond Codrington, Aspen Institute Friday, November 20 6:30-8pm Room 447

Recent events in politics and popular culture illustrate that both race and power are constantly shifting. Despite the prevalence of race and racial discourse in our daily lives we lack informed opportunities and frameworks to better understand the way in which race is constructed and implicated in our lives. The talk will focus on better understandings of racial disparities focusing on the ways that public policies, institutional practices, and cultural representations contribute to contemporary racial inequities. The discussion will also examine some of the underlying assumptions, beliefs and values that shape contemporary discussions on race; and, second, discuss ways to apply these insights to contemporary social, economic and political challenges in communities and/or organizations. Finally, the talk will address the need for policy programs to develop new methods to disseminate their work that engage new and emerging forms of media. Raymond Codrington manages the Racial Equity Seminars at the Aspen Institute Roundtable on Community Change. Before joining the Aspen Institute, Codrington served as the founding director of the Julian C. Dixon Institute for Cultural Studies and curator in the department of anthropology at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. He has also taught anthropology at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Purchase and held the Sandy Boyd Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Center for Cultural Understanding and Change (CCUC) at the Field Museum in Chicago. He received a BA in government from the University of Texas at Austin and a Ph.D. in anthropology from the Graduate Center, CUNY. He is vice president of the Association of Black Anthropologists and a board member of the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD).
