Project Disrupt

I am in Auckland this week. Thanks to the US Embassy, I am attending Project Disrupt.   It is going to be a busy, but interesting and informative 2 days. I plan on making a series of blog posts about the conference.

 

There are a number of sessions that I am particularly looking forward too, and plan to blog about. They include.

DEMOCRACIES
Macon Phillips, Coordinator, Bureau of Intl.
Information Programs; former Special Assistant to
President Obama as Director of Digital Strategy

 

THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN PUBLIC DEBATE
AND POLICY

– DISRUPTING THE MOMENT: LIVE, PUBLIC AND
CONVERSATIONAL
Nivin Sewpershad, Manager, DSO, Twitter Australia

 

– COMMERCIALIZING DISRUPTIVELY: OVERCOMING
THE CHALLENGES
Panel discussion

 

I will also be tweeting comments and quotes on my account, @matthewjpb, the conference hashtag is #projectdisrupt. If you are attending, come find me and say hi.

  1. Looking forward to reading about Project Disrupt.

    Looking at your listing of key sessions, I was intrigued at the descriptor for Jacinda Ardern. It seems that she or someone is implying that she is the MP for Auckland Central, when in fact Nikki Kaye is the MP for that electorate.

    • I simply copied it from the program. But it is an interesting observation.
