November 2019 Evening Meeting 

Guest Speakers: Tech Panel Discussion Moderated by Joe Cieplinski featuring Paul McCubbin, Curtis Herbert, Anthony Colangelo, and others.

Paul McCubbin is a multifaceted technology professional with over 25 years experience in Information Security Consulting, Software Development, and helping non-profit organizations. Currently investigating Machine Learning's role as a promoter of job automation and what this means for the future of work.

Curtis Herbert is a developer turned entrepreneur that is passionate about building great digital products that customers will love. His main product is Slopes; the top mobile app for skiers and snowboarders. Slopes is (as we speak) launching its first social features. But while many other companies would design those features to maximize the mythical “engagement” metric, Curtis instead focused on designing a new social experience which respects users’ privacy, avoids opportunities for online harassment, and respects users’ time and attention.

A Philadelphia-based iOS and Mac developer working on apps like Big Cartel, Dark Sky, and Downlink. Previously, Anthony spent a few years at Happy Cog, a web agency founded by Jeffrey Zeldman, designing and building sites for clients big and small, local and international. When he’s not coding, he’s probably writing and talking about spaceflight on his blog and podcast, Main Engine Cut Off.

November 2019 Business Breakfast

Guest Speaker: Elizabeth Mannion - Founder, Dreaming in Irish

Date: Tuesday, November 19, 2019

Time: 7:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. 

Location: Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel, 687 Lexington Avenue (between E. 56th & 57th Streets), New York, NY

      

Elizabeth Mannion joins us to discuss creative entrepreneurialism, a topic near-and-dear to her professionally hyphenated heart. Beth’s teaching, lecturing, and research focuses on drama and an interdisciplinary range of Irish studies, from revivalist drama to contemporary crime fiction. She is the author of The Urban Plays of the Early Abbey Theatre, editor of The Contemporary Irish Detective Novel, and co-editor of the forthcoming Guilt Rules All: Irish Mystery, Detective, and Crime Fiction.

Beth combines her scholarly pursuits with Dreaming in Irish, a publishing and consulting firm. In addition to editing and indexing services, Dreaming in Irish is home to the Kate Doyle cozy tales. Copies of Dreaming in Irish and Traces of Irish will be available for sale at the breakfast.

Beth will be discussing taking professional leaps, combining the day job with the dream, and the joy of a mid-life reboot. We’re likely to bend her ear a bit about Irish crime writing too.
