Experts will address big ideas in their disciplines that deal with economic development. These ideas will, in turn, likely have an impact on libraries, and the audience can determine for themselves which aspects of each speaker's talk they think will influence the evolution of libraries. Presenters include: financial columnist Dan Gross on economic tools, entrepreneur Janis Collins on accelerating new businesses, marathoner Jean-Paul Desrosiers, Jr. on moving your boundaries, educator Kerstin Rao on preparing students to innovate their own future and graphic artist Miggs Burroughs on the economics of art. The day will be moderated by Dianne Wildman, former Cablevision editorial director. Register online. $15 fee includes refreshments.
