Here’s a complete list of upcoming events and speaking engagements.

At the 3rd Annual International Barcode of Life Conference in Mexico City last month, Matthew Fisher presented Connect.BarcodeofLife.net — an online community for DNA barcoding professionals.

The verdict is in - Matthew’s Crowdsourcing Culture panel at this year’s Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit was a huge success! As the voice of the multitudes shifts from a passive to active role in the fields of business, design and even politics, this presentation, which you can now check out on slideshare, was significant in bringing this newfound relevance of the crowd to the forefront.
Matthew Fisher will be moderating a panel titled "Crowdsourcing Culture" from 4-5:30pm on Monday, October 5th at Innovation Philadelphia’s second Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit. Crowdsourcing, the practice of turning to a large group or community to solve problems, is a rapidly growing area thanks to online networks and social media. Technology is pushing the limits of participation and engagement to undreamed of levels and organizations are using these tools in new and innovative ways. This panel explores how crowdsourcing is impacting business, culture, design and even politics, as the group has been turned from audience into collaborator.
In response to the American Association of Museum’s conference theme, “The Museum Experiment”, Night Kitchen Interactive is sharing its recent collaborations with organizations that have taken bold new approaches to encouraging visitors to contribute their own creative responses to museum collections.
Join us at our panel sessions The Places and Stories that Matter and Museum as Platform, or please stop by our booth (#831) where we will be showcasing visitor-contributed projects such as click! photography changes everything, 21st Century Abe, Star-Spangled Banner, and more!
Matthew Fisher and co-panelists reflect on and critique an extensive year-long collaboration to develop and launch the University of Michigan Museum of Art’s new DialogTable at the National Art Education Association national convention in Minneapolis.
