I'm really honored to be part of this conference organized by Lena Chen at Harvard. You can find lots of info about the event here and below (nice cherries!)
Check out the amazing lineup of speakers, panelists and topics! I'll be on a panel or two, and Team Trixie will be shooting the event and interviewing some of the participants for the film. It will be an exciting and busy day, so if you're in the Boston area, please join us. You can RSVP on Facebook.
