EVENT DETAILS |
<P>As humans, we're increasingly breaking into smaller, more distinct, & more separate groups. We've seen this most recently in our politics, but it's also playing out economically & geographically. This is often made worse by technology, which can isolate us from other people.</P>
<P>Our two speakers work to do the opposite: connect humans more closely through products & data.</P>
<P><STRONG><A HREF="https://x.design.blog/portfolio/anne-diaz/" TARGET="_blank" REL="noopener noreferrer noopener nofollow noopener noreferrer nofollow nofollow noreferrer nofollow">Anne Diaz</A></STRONG> leads research for the Trust group at Airbnb, where she works to create a more inclusive & connected community of hosts & travelers. She prepared for designing software with a background in urban studies & community organization.</P>

He arrived at Square when they acquired his company, Framed Data.</P>
<P>Both Anne & Thomson worked together previously at Causes.com, which has helped 200M people raise money for causes they care about.</P>
<P>__</P>
<P>The format for the evening will be a fireside chat-style deep dive with each of our guests. Talks & audience contributions will be off the record, & there will be the opportunity for some group interraction, as well as breakout time after.</P>
<P><STRONG>We will be closing the doors at 6:50 to start promptly at 7pm, so please arrive on time.</STRONG></P>
