FRI 4/12: Salim Ismail: Technology and the Future of Miami

With the tools of disruptive innovation are becoming democratized and accessible to everyone and anyone, that is more true today than ever before. Salim will describe the tools of this new future and the role that culture and cities will play in it, along with the societal disruptions we’ll have to face along with it and the opportunities for a city like Miami.
