I'll be speaking at the TEDxTamaya on November 22. Topic will most likely be on how confused we are as a democratic and capitalist society and things we might do to sort it all out. Thanks to Alisa Gilbert for the invitation. Looking forward to meeting the many esteemed speakers, especially the hyper-prolific Adarsh Pallian.
From November 11-14, I will also be attending the AIGA/Winterhouse Aspen Design Summit, a "select group of 60 designers, change leaders, NGOs, foundations and experts coming together to engage actively in opportunities to demonstrate design thinking in crafting solutions for large social problems, as well as to use existing networks and programs to accelerate change." Thanks to Bill Drenttel for the invitation and I'm very much looking forward to working with these outstanding summit participants.
(And somebody tell Marc Alt that it's way too cold to ride a motorcycle in Aspen in November. We'll go snowmobiling instead, dude!)

1) Followup report on the Mayo Clinic working group's outcome on ChangeObserver; 2) I was not able to speak at TEDx unfortunately, due to having to rush back home to Santa Fe from Tamaya to see if Willow was ok after banging her head against the edge of a door. She was fine, thank goodness. 3) Aspen teammate Helen Walters from BusinessWeek writes about her experience

Gong, Let me know if you post your presentation. I'd lover to see/hear your thoughts even though I won't be at either event.
