Lunch around Noon

Eric Ries, Author, The Lean Startup

"The Lean Startup"

Most new businesses fail. But most of those failures are preventable. Eric will talk about The Lean Startup, a new approach to business that's being adopted around the world. It is changing the way companies are built and new products are launched.

Boundaries between the domains of digital and physical are inexorably eroding. As a result, online media techniques, while once isolated within the silo of a computer screen,will soon be capable of translation into real-world environments.

The implications for consumers – indeed for society at large – are breathtaking.
