Description:

Nobody Knows What They’re Doing: Insider Stories from a Tech Entrepreneur

Avery Swartz is a tech entrepreneur, web designer, professor, and consultant. Which means that most days she’s just making things up as she goes along. Isn’t that really what we’re all doing when it comes to technology (whether we’re ready to admit it or not)?

In her entertaining and irreverent style, Avery will share how she’s made a career out of being a friendly nerd, and how embracing the unknown can be freeing and incredibly exciting. She’ll tell the story of building her web design studio and Camp Tech, the national tech workshop company for non-technical people.

Hear her opinions on traditional and alternative education, the importance of empathy and generosity, the power of collaboration and how to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.
