I’ve discussed Edward Tufte before, but I wanted to let everyone in the New York area that the “godfather of information design” will coming to town to deliver his one-day seminars on November 4th, 5th, 8th & 9th. To register for the seminars, which include copies of each of his 4 books, swing by Tufte’s website.
If you can’t make it to New York, here are a few more upcoming seminars.
- Philadelphia, PA — November 2, 2010
- San Jose, CA — December 6, 2010
- San Francisco — December 7, 8, 9, 2010

Saatchi & Saatchi 7×7 – September 29, 2010
New York advertising giant Satchi & Satchi is hosting a second “7×7” evening of presentations.
In this 7×7 format, 7 unique and smart, but completely unrelated speakers are each given 7 minutes to talk about something unique. I attended the last session back in May, which included everything from the TED Conference’s Chris Anderson to a cooking demonstration to a live play by play of a speed chess match by ESPN’s chess commentator. Yes, apparently ESPN has a chess commentator.
The #1 reason we people give bad presentations is because they see bad presentations. I have no idea if this month’s group are good presenters, but it’s always good to see how a wide range of other presenters speakers do what they do.
