2019 NZILA Firth Conference Speaker
Disruption is the theme of this year’s NZILA Firth Conference, which is set to take place in Ōtautahi Christchurch from 6-8 November. Don’t forget to get your tickets!
Disruption will be discussed in two parts - the disruption of nature and the disruption of people.
One of this year’s international speakers is Dr Antwi Akom, who was named by former US President Barack Obama as one of the world’s top innovators. Dr Akom has many accolades to his name. He’s the director of the Social Innovation and Urban Opportunity Research Lab - a joint research lab between the University of California San Francisco’s Centre for Vulnerable Populations and San Francisco State University. He also co-founded Streetwyze—a technology and human centred design firm.
Dr Akom’s visit is sponsored by Boffa Miskell.
