Thanks, most unexpectedly, to the lovely folks at Virgin Australia who are giving me a Free Trip to New York (i won a competition, would you believe it?) i will be heading state-side again early in the new year. I’m keen to meet with and talk cities, urbanism and geekery with audiences of artists, architects, urbanists, city planners, students and anyone else.
I will be in New York and thereabouts from about the 3rd to the 8th of March then heading to Austin for SXSW interactive from the 9th to 13th of March and then off to San Francisco or thereabouts from the 14th to the 21st before heading back to Australia via LA. I’m really keen to meet people, do talks, generally hang out with interesting types in any of these places or anywhere a short hop from them. Paid gigs definitely encouraged but any all interesting offers will be considered! Will post in more details about plans later but if you’re interested in catching up or have any great suggestions of things to do people to meet then let me know.
Meanwhile i have posted my TEDxNewy talk above and there’s a bit more background on me from my last US trip here, a talk i gave at Project for Public Spaces in New York last year.
Suggestions of people to meet, things to do? Anyone? Contact me here with any suggestions.
