Fall ‘09 Speakers Series Set
The Vilna Shul’s Speakers Series took a hiatus over the summer but we are back with a great fall schedule.
I’m very excited about the speakers, topics and panels.
In one week - Wednesday, September 16, 2009 - at the usual time (6 - 8 pm) we will hold a panel discussion on the topic: “Are Blogs and Twitter Improving the Dissemination of Information and News?” Judging from the early and strong response to the invitation this topic is hot and the moderator plus panel is perfect to address the topic. Dan Kennedy (@dankennedy_nu and blog), Professor of Journalism at Northeastern is the moderator and the panel includes Scott Kirsner, The Boston Globe’s Innovation Columnist (@ScottKirsner and blog); Douglas Banks, Editor, Massachusetts High Technology (@eDougBanks); Dharmesh Shah, Hubspot, CTO (@dharmesh and blog) and Adam Gaffer, a prodigious blogger (blog)
Don’t miss these upcoming events, including:
- Fireside Chat with Joe Finder, author of Vanishing (on the NY Times bestseller listing this and last week) – and expert on the CIA and intelligence. Date: October 7th, Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
- Fireside Chat with Alan Trefler, Founder and CEO, Pegasystems Inc. Date: November 4th, Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
- Fireside Chat and Panel with Noam Wasserman, Associate Professor, Harvard Business School – Expert on founders and startups (blog). Date: November 18th, Time: 6:00 - 8:00 pm.
