d.school Conference: Creating Infectious Action Through Social Enterprise

Diego Rodriguez, Michael Dearing, and Debra Dunn are holding a conference as part of their class on Creating Infectious Action-Kindling Gregarious Behavior.  The first project for the class focused on spreading Firefox. Now, under Debra's leadership, the second half of the class takes another turn.  If you are on campus, or nearby, on May 3rd, we hope you will join us.  Here is the announcement:

How might one apply design thinking to create infectious action through social enterprise?

As part of the CIA-KGB class being taught at the d.school, we'll be holding a "mini-conference" next week, and you're invited to attend.  We only call it "mini" because it's not a full-day event.  However, as you can see below, the speaker roster is simply amazing.

Here are the speakers (in order of appearance):

• Jim Fruchterman, Founder & CEO, Benetech
• Dennis Whittle and Mari Kurashi, Co-Founders, Global Giving
• Jessica Flannery, Co-Founder, Kiva.org

In addition to getting to hear each of these people speak about creating infectious action through social enterprise, we'll also be treated to a panel discussion with them moderated by CIA-KGB teaching team member Debra Dunn. And, this being the d.school, we'll retreat afterward to the lobby for some heated discussion about design thinking, as well as some tasty drinks and snacks.

This year's CIA-KGB mini-conference is focused on the domain of social enterprise because this year's class will be embarking on a five-week design project on behalf of Global Giving.  Last year's conference talked more generally about creating infectious action, and was a blast.  Hope to see you there!

I found your blog while googling social enterprise. I also blogged on it here:

This sounds great but unfortunately not accessible from a far! Any chance of a video recording?
