ATTENTION GREEN GADGET GEEKS!
The Greener Gadgets Conference [5] is returning to New York City this February, and promises to be even bigger and better than our inaugural event in 2008 [6]. We’ve been talking about it for the last few months [7], but now we have an exciting announcement we would like to make about the lineup of the conference. We are thrilled to announce that inventor, engineer and all-around-tech-renaissance man Saul Griffith [8] has signed on to give the keynote presentation for the event.
Dr. Saul Griffith [8] is an innovator and inventor of many talents who is best known for founding some of green tech’s most promising companies, including: the how-to website Instructables [9], wind power company Makani Power [10], portable kinetic energy company Potenco [11], engineering design company Squidlabs [12], and educational cartoon HowToons [13]. He recently won a MacArthur Genius Grant [14] for his inventions, has spoken at TED [15] (watch the video below), and regularly contributes to Make [16] and Craft Magazines [17]. We could not think of a person who better exemplifies the inventive and intrepid spirit of Greener Gadgets, and are thrilled to have Saul Griffith on board to keynote our event.
