Who I’d like to hear from (& it’s not the usual suspects)

After another London edtech week I’m feeling rather sanguine about ever attending an edtech event ever again.

Of course I will but I’m going have 3 criteria:

  1. I want to hear from people who have something new to say (edtech is so often an echo chamber)
  2. I will try not to ask a question or making a long rambling statement, something I’m infamous for (the worst echo chamber is always your own)
  3. I won’t ever go to an event where the keynote is going to be delivered by a celebrity (current, ex, aged rock star, media commentator etc,).

 

The sort of people I’d like to hear from is in the list below. It’s not comprehensive and is limited by my imagination on a Thursday afternoon. Please email me your suggestions and I will update the list:

 

  • Ron Mock, CEO & President Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan
  • Jonathan Knee author of Class Clowns, ex-M&A banker (Morgan Stanley & Goldman Sachs) & Professor of Professional Practice of Media and Technology, Columbia University Business School New York
