The SuperSpade at the Black Technology Now! Summit next week
November 3, 2006
I will be in Boston next week as a featured panelist at the National Black Programming Consortium’s (NBPC) Black Technology Now! Summit (BTN) on November 8 & 9, 2006. This is a conference that is focusing on the future of public media and how people of color can take advantage of new ways to distribute their messages and content.
The panel that I am participating in is entitled NEW FUNKY: Virtual Communities of Color & More. The entire conference schedule is here.
What I will be focusing on in my presentation will be building online communities and how we can use the internet and other technologies to address broader social issues. I will talk about the existence of virtual solutions to real-life, tangible, brick-and-mortar problems. I will be using examples such as The SuperSpade, DetroitIntern.com, and other projects that I am working on to solve problems with technology.
Just like the last public speech that I gave, I will post the audio (and maybe video if it is available) of this talk on the site upon my return. Also like before, if you have any ideas about the topic, I’d love for you to share them.
Short bios of myself as well as other speakers & panelists are available here.

Good luck, Garlin! Congrats to the Superspade on a job well done. This sounds like a great opportunity.
ellen,
Thank you and Brandon, Steve, and I appreciate your support for us and this website.
This will be an opportunity to spread both the Vision of The SuperSpade as well as it’s lessons learned to a group of people that will perhaps be able to apply it to their own lives and work.
Hi Garlin,
It is wonderful to see some of the fruits of your labor. Best wishes and lots of prayers and support are coming your way. Be safe and take Jesus with you where ever you go.
Love Lady B
