Title: Attention Bitcoin peers in Chicago - an event at the Booth school of business
Post by: RodeoX on June 09, 2011, 06:36:13 PM
The Booth school of business is often ranked as the second most prestigious business school in the world.  I will be presenting a talk to their Innovation Roundtable on Aug. 2. The people attending are top business leaders. I'm told some will be coming from as far away as London. These people are critical decision makers in international finance and are in a position to have a real impact on the future of bitcoin.
Gavin has asked me to work with Shaun Kranish on this, and we hope to garner some influence here. If you are in the area and would like to attend, check out the link below.

I will post more in this thread as things come together.

Cheers,

Hello!

I am a graduate student at the University of Chicago (but not the business school), and I will be attending the round table discussion about bitcoins. I look forward to hearing your talk, and to meeting people in Chicago who are part of the bitcoin community.

Here is my email address: jostmey@uchicago.edu

I am always open to talking about bitcoin!

Hi Jared,
Sorry I missed your post at first. It was buried under pages of other posts before i saw it. It will be a pleasure to meet you as well. As it gets closer I will send you some more info on the talk, if your interested.
Shaun is out of the country until July 4.  I will be in Istanbul for a couple of weeks after that, so I may be hard to reach in the weeks before the talk.

Anyway, thanks for attending.
Cheers!

UPDATE:
My contact at the University informed me that NPR will be present at the event. I'll do my best to get us a good radio spot.

Thanks!
