Global Pulse Tech Salon

United Nations Global Pulse and Soraya Darabi of Foodspotting are hosting a tech salon to bring together passionate thought-leaders in the technology and social media space to discuss how emerging technologies can be used to protect the vulnerable in crises.

The evening will kick off with a presentation by Global Pulse director Robert Kirkpatrick about this new United Nations project and some of the emerging technologies, analytical approaches and opportunities that the project is exploring as it enters its operational phase.

Global Pulse is very interested in catalyzing innovation in a number of fields:

• real-time data and analysis
• citizen engagement through social and mobile media
• "information exhaust" - ambient data created as a by-product of communities’ everyday activities with communications technologies

We hope to have a lively discussion after the presentation followed by drinking and mingling. We look forward to seeing you there...

The event is fully booked, but if you would like to attend, add your name to the waitlist and if spaces open up, we will notify you.
