New: View the Innovation Economy video series -- short interviews, technology demos, and company visits related to my Sunday Globe column.About Me
For about the last ten years, I've been writing about innovation for publications like the Boston Globe, the New York Times, Wired, Variety, Fast Company, the Hollywood Reporter, Salon.com, BusinessWeek, and Newsweek. I helped start (and continue to help run) three conferences: Future Forward, the Nantucket Conference on Entrepreneurship & Innovation, and Convergence: The Life Sciences Leaders Forum. I also often speak and moderate at other people's conferences, and serve as a commentator on TV and radio. (Which beats actual work.) You can reach me by e-mailing kirsner - at- pobox.com. My personal site is www.scottkirsner.com.
