CANCELLED: Refresh Boston in February - Design for Change February 23, 2011

Sorry folks, the event is cancelled. We're finalizing plans for both our March and April events though, so stay tuned...

----

Refresh Boston is back in 2011, and we have 2 events planned with more in the making. If you're interested in speaking at an upcoming event, or know someone who is, let us know.

This month we're proud to announce that Patrick Haney, the person behind Refresh Boston, will be presenting Design for Change, It Makes Cents.

We'll meet in our usual location, on the 11th floor of the Microsoft NERD Center in Cambridge, right next to the Kendall Square T stop, from 6:30-9PM. For more information, visit the Refresh Boston website.

Patrick's talk, entitled Design for Change, has been presented at Web Design World, NXNE Interactive and The Rich Web Experience, as well as a handful of other Refresh events around the country.

Design for Change, It Makes Cents

Changing the world sounds like an impossible task for any one person, but we can all use our skills for good rather than evil and make progress towards a better planet. We'll talk about the responsibility that designers have to make a positive change in the world, how we can "go green" as web folk, what to do to gain people's trust and get them involved in your cause, and look at actual techniques we can use right now in order to "do good" on the web.
