From the organizers:

“The Rainforest Architects Program is the first-of-its kind interactive workshop incorporating design principles, novel innovation frameworks, and practical applications / tools for those committed to creating, building, and championing their ecosystems.   We accomplish this by driving (and accelerating) more innovative thought, novel technology development, talent, new products, and global human connectivity.   We hold this 3 day, immersion program in the Silicon Valley, home to some of the world’s most innovative thinkers and organizations, where you have be given the opportunity to explore places and people that are normally inaccessible to the general public. This course has been structured for everyone, whether you’re dealing with large corporations, community organizations, startups, cities, universities, regions, or entire nations.”

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.
