Updated: I’m Really Excited About the Interesting New York Conference
Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my combined feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post. Thanks for visiting!
I’ll be speaking about my off consumption experiment at the Interesting New York conference on September 13.
I’m looking forward to meet a bunch of really interesting fellow speakers at the conference.
Here’s the final schedule of the three sessions. For some reason, I am bunched with some serious heavyweights like Faris Yakob, Noah Brier, Nick Parish and Grant McCraken and I’m suddenly afraid that I’ll totally underwhelm the audience.
