The Passion Talks conference was a tremendous success with 17 speakers flying in from as far as Boston and Phoenix. The conference is being reported back to a number of communities locally in the Bay Area and internationally. Below is the schedule of events along with the photos, and the digital copy of the program can be found here. We had 60 registered attendees and more who registered onsite. The topics went from personal to professional testimonies spanning the areas of neuroscience, computer vision, telecommunication, physics, cosmology, humanities, business, media, and many more. In addition to the professionals, over 5 universities were represented, including MIT, Berkeley, and Stanford.
We’ll be announcing the date for Passion Talks 2014 in a couple of months, so stay tuned!
