Call for Presenters

12:31 PM call for presentations, New topics, Technovation Talks volunteers No comments

As part of our Technovation Talks series we intend to reach out to experts across our industry (IT) as well as other industries who exploit Innovation in Technology to help further their own unique missions. We'd like to invite both volunteers for the topic areas we've already announced as well suggestions for new topics or topic areas.

Our criteria for volunteer presenters is as follows:

The Technovation Talks aren't paid activities.
While you may use the Talks to promote yourself, concepts you support or even specific products; the talks are not meant to be product commercials, but rather an objective overview regarding some aspect of IT practice.
Full attribution and copyright protection are guaranteed - we would merely provide a suggested PowerPoint template and then host the resulting video on our blog and Youtube.com channel.

If you are interested, please contact Stephen Lahanas and provide the following information:

Suggested Topic (and topic area)
Presentation title
Presentation length
Key concepts being presented
Industry experience & background of the presenter (short bio)

Technovation Quotes

It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.

Albert Einstein

The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free. Michelangelo.

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
Abraham Maslow

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
Alan Kay

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
Confucius

I am convinced all of humanity is born with more gifts than we know. Most are born geniuses and just get de-geniused rapidly.
Buckminster Fuller

Programming is like sex. One mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.
Michael Sinz

One man's constant is another man's variable.
Alan J. Perlis

If at first, the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.
Albert Einstein

There are truths on this side of the Pyrenees, which are falsehoods on the other.
Blaise Pascal

A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.
Steve Jobs

Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you.
Aldous Huxley

Knowledge in the form of an informational commodity indispensable to productive power is already, and will continue to be, a major --perhaps the major --stake in the worldwide competition for power. It is conceivable that the nation-states will one day fight for control of information, just as they battled in the past for control over territory, and afterwards for control over access to and exploitation of raw materials and cheap labor.
Jean Francois Lyotard

While all other sciences have advanced, that of government is at a standstill - little better understood, little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago.
John Adams
