I will be speaking on the Google campus in March. This is for the alumni group from RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York) where I matriculated. You don’t have to be an RPI alumni to attend. If you would like to come and hear me speak either register or let me know and I can add you as a guest of my registration.
