Not only is this a big milestone for me, but I am really looking forward to seeing my friends and family. I’ve been in Geneva now for about two months and still miss them like crazy!

So what does the evening have in store?

  • The event will be hosted by Alexander Manu (Author of Everything 2.0) and Don Tapscott (Author of Grown Up Digital)
  • I’ll be giving a brief presentation on some of the ideas covered in the book.
  • There will be a book signing

Tickets are $30, and include a copy of the book as well as some tasty treats.
