Tonight, we have a Futurist Meetup in Chicago, so come on out if you’re free from the shackles of doing Systems work or Structured planning class with Chuck. We’re going to have a special meetup– meeting at Intelligentsia on Randolph at 6:30pm and then walking on over to Harris Theater to listen to an Oxford style debate hosted by Chicago Public Radio, with the topic being: “Will China’s Rise Lead to an Environmental Catastrophe?“. It’s a topic that I have a particular area of interest in, as I am a firm believer that ecological sustainability and poverty alleviation/addressing markets at the BOP go directly hand-in-hand.

The speakers sound great…

Team members negating the statement:

Vijay Vaitheeswaran, Global Correspondent for The Economist

Kelly Sims Gallagher, Director of the Energy Technology Innovation Project

Team members in support of the statement:

Orville Schell, Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society

Barry Weisberg, Executive Director of the Violence Prevention Peace Promotion Strategy

Hope you can come out and make it to the Meetup!
