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.
