Monday, March 03, 2008 from 05:30 PM - 07:00 PM (GMT)
London
To mark the publication of ‘We-Think’ – Charles Leadbeater’s acclaimed book on the culture of mass participation, NESTA is pleased to host a debate with Andrew Keen, the US-based author of ‘The Cult of the Amateur’ and self-proclaimed leading contemporary critic of the Internet; and Charlie Leadbeater, NESTA Visiting Fellow and a leading authority on innovation and creativity.
Will a new culture of mass collaboration lead to enhanced creativity and ultimately, to innovation, or are we simply providing a forum for the misuse of information and for the erosion of quality?
Registration from 5.00pm with presentations starting promptly at 5.30pm
Followed by refreshments and networking
Signed copies of ‘We-Think’ will be available to purchase
