On Saturday May 14 TEDx Silicon Valley will gather some of the Bay Area leading thinkers and doers at Stanford's new Knight Management Center to discuss social innovation and explore the emerging concept of Living by Numbers.
We'll discuss new things people can measure and we never thought could be measured. We'll talk about the power of crowd sourcing and the collective power of small coordinated actions. We'll try and understand the sheer scale of the world population and the danger of large scale poverty. We'll explore the importance of the right data for nonprofit program evaluation. We'll walk the fine line of analysis paralysis versus risk taking. We'll feature artists who are working with data to communicate new ideas to the general public, and much much more.
