RI Nexus is honored to host John Maeda's first public appearance since he took the reins at RISD earlier this month. Maeda comes to RISD from MIT's venerable Media Lab, where he solidified his position as one of the top thinkers and artists working at the intersection of design and technology.

This is a unique opportunity for Rhode Island's info-tech and digital media community and John to get to know one another in a casual, intimate setting. The event will consist of an onstage interview, open Q & A, and socializing.

We hope to see you there!
