Now here’s something that, if it wasn’t quite so pricey, I’d sign up for – the 2012 SharpBrains Virtual Summit: http://www.sharpbrains.com/summit-2012/
Because it’s a virtual summit – i.e. held online – top rank speakers can participate without wrecking their schedule. And this summit seems to have some topflight speakers including:
- Tracy Packiam Alloway, PhD, Assistant Professor, University of North Florida
- Sharon Begley, Senior Health & Science Correspondent, Reuters
- Dr. Shlomo Breznitz, President, CogniFit
- Nolan Bushnell, Founder, Atari
- Alvaro Fernandez, CEO, SharpBrains
- Lindsay Gaskins, CEO, Marble: the Brain Store
- Adam Gazzaley, Director of the Neuroscience Imaging Center at the University of California, San Francisco
- Dr. Elkhonon Goldberg, author, scientist, neuropsychologist
- Dr. C. Shawn Green, University of Wisconsin-Madison
This is a who’s who of brain health and cognitive skills improvement. The idea of sitting in front of your computer at home and listening to these guys (a term that I use in the non-gender, Midwestern form) is pretty attractive. I also find the nice mix of private company speakers and purely academic speakers intriguing – are the private company CEO’s going to transform themselves into salesmen? Are they going to take a statesman-like stance? Or are they going to argue for their own technique or research? Who knows? I suspect, though, that if you had the time, and $$$, I’d be fascinating. If you attend, please let me know.
