SBE Luncheon - April 28th, 2010
Steve Lampen
Our own Steve Lampen is the presenter this month, with one of his more innovative concepts to talk to us about.
Steve is well-known as a key player in Belden Wire’s strategy and marketing team, and amongst the things that he’s done for them over the years is to act as a “futurist.”
This month, Steve’s planning to show us some of the things that caused people in the past to fear on-coming technology—and even show us some of the fears WE might have today over the same challenge. A quote from his summary:
“In one hour, Lampen will go from the Spanish Conquistadors in the New World to digital television, and how people resisted technology and the change it brought. How will we be ready for tomorrow? How can we accept tomorrow?…Many of us are building a ‘brick wall’ around ourselves to protect us from that future.”
Yes, that does sound a little different from our usual approach. No, I didn’t make it up. Yes, I DO think it’ll be very entertaining, and informative (those classic descriptions that we all try to use when inviting people to our meetings.) Hope it entices you.
Sinbad’s Restaurant at Pier 2, as always, is the meeting place. Wednesday the 28th of April is the date and the times are 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM. No-Host bar starts at 11:30 and we sit down to lunch around 12:30, with the presentation at 1:00 p.m. or so. Please RSVP by calling me at 925-522-9342 before 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday the 27th. Again, that’s BEFORE 2:00 p.m.
