See You Tonight in San Francisco at Xconomy’s Event Event

Today’s the day I’ve been telling you about for a couple of months now: It’s your chance to catch Eventbrite co-founders Kevin Hartz, Julia Hartz, and Renaud Visage, along with Eventbrite board member (and former Ticketmaster CEO) Sean Moriarty, in conversation with yours truly at the Greenstart cleantech accelerator in downtown San Francisco.

The theme tonight will be the online-to-offline economy and how companies like Eventbrite are using the Internet to help people get things done (and have more fun) in the real world. I’ll also spend some time asking Kevin, Julia, Renaud, and Sean about the event business, and what Eventbrite has learned over the past six years about how startups can best use online tools to organize events efficiently and profitably. And as always, you can ask your own questions during the formal audience Q&A session and the informal networking reception afterward (pizza and beer and on us!).

The doors open at 5:30 pm and the program will start promptly at 6:15 pm. If you didn’t make it over to our Eventbrite registration page to buy a ticket, it’s too late—online registration has closed for the day. But don’t panic: You can still register at the door for $95 (or $40 if you work for a startup).

A shout-out to Wells Fargo’s Technology and Venture Banking Group for their support of tonight’s event. We’re also very grateful to Greenstart for hosting the event in their uber-cool space on the 11th floor at 22 Battery Street in the Financial District. (It’s a good idea to arrive early to avoid a potential bottleneck at the elevator.)

Between 2007 and 2014, I was a staff editor for Xconomy in Boston and San Francisco. Since 2008 I've been writing a weekly opinion/review column called VOX: The Voice of Xperience. (From 2008 to 2013 the column was known as World Wide Wade.) I've been writing about science and technology professionally since 1994. Before joining Xconomy in 2007, I was a staff member at MIT’s Technology Review from 2001 to 2006, serving as senior editor, San Francisco bureau chief, and executive editor of TechnologyReview.com. Before that, I was the Boston bureau reporter for Science, managing editor of supercomputing publications at NASA Ames Research Center, and Web editor at e-book pioneer NuvoMedia. I have a B.A. in the history of science from Harvard College and a PhD in the history and social study of science and technology from MIT. I've published articles in Science, Technology Review, IEEE Spectrum, Encyclopaedia Brittanica, Technology and Culture, Alaska Airlines Magazine, and World Business, and I've been a guest of NPR, CNN, CNBC, NECN, WGBH and the PBS NewsHour. I'm a frequent conference participant and enjoy opportunities to moderate panel discussions and on-stage chats.
