Know How Talks 2008

[Scott Underwood]

Hello all-

This is a general announcement about IDEO's Know How Talk series.

I've had a few emails from those curious about the series this year. No, we haven't stopped, but we took an extended break from booking new speakers after having hosted 30 last year.

This year, it's been a comedy of scheduling as I've juggled multiple invitations and tried to get commitments from those traveling through and our busy locals as well.

This is all to say your patience is appreciated and we will have a number of dates to announce soon. Among the guests I'm working with:

Barry Katz (design historian; CCA; Stanford; IDEO Fellow) & Michael Shanks (archeologist; Stanford MetaMedia Lab; Stanford Humanities Lab)
Dennis Muren, visual effects director, Industrial Light & Magic, nine-time Oscar winner
Eric Gower, chef, author of Breakaway Cooking
Greg Maletic, director of TILT: The Battle to Save Pinball (60-min movie)
Jim Fruchterman, Benentech
Andrew Hargadon, professor, UC Davis, author of How Breakthroughs Happen: The Surprising Truth about how Companies Innovate

and a few more. As soon as I have dates, invites will begin to roll out.
