Nerd Nite #58: Taking Care of Business

May 24, 2024 at 7:30pm ~ May 24, 2024 at 10:00pm

Every month, we gather some smart speakers and a curious crowd, add a bar, and create something unique. This month, we’re looking for better, greener ways to run businesses.

First, green transition expert Stéfan Le Dû will help us learn to spot greenwashing and ask “is a company truly eco-friendly, or just putting on a green facade?” Then, tech cooperative member Yasuaki Kudo will talk about how co-ops can bring more democracy, free speech, and human rights to the workplace.

Drinks (both alcoholic and non) will be available. Drink, meet, and be square-y! Kids are also welcome at Nerd Nite.

Speakers:

Stéfan Le Dû (Studio Ichigo) (Instagram: personal / business) (LinkedIn: personal / business) — Greenwashing: the Dark Side of Eco-Marketing
Yasuaki Kudo (TNG Worker Cooperative) — The Silver Lining of Workplace Democracy
