QS Show&Tell #23 (WellnessFX in SF)

Please join us on January 19th for another night of self-tracking presentations, sharing lessons learned, and showing tools.

We're returning to the beautiful offices of WellnessFX in San Francisco, which means a nice cozy meetup. Be sure to RSVP early to grab your spot. We'll be continuing with the Ignite Plus format (Ignite talks + Q&A period) for talks. Gary Wolf will be hosting, and Ernesto Ramirez from QS San Diego is coming up to help.

Anyone else who would like to volunteer, please write to me (Alex) at labs@quantifiedself.com.

6 -7:30 pm SOCIAL HOUR AND WORKSHOP

Think: "science fair" for adults.

If you have a self-tracking project, gadget, app, or idea you'd like to share or demo, but you don't want to get up and talk about it, the workshop hour is perfect for you.

You don't need to have a prepared talk, or permission to show something. Just come and bring what you have. We will have tables and power strips where you can plug in a laptop if you like, but paper is good too.

Just to be clear, we save the talks for personal accounts of self-tracking and self-experimentation, rather than sales/investor pitches. But of course we are also interested in tools! If you are making something useful for self-trackers – software, hardware, web services, or data standards – please demo it in this workshop portion of the Show&Tell.

7:30 pm – 9 pm QS SHOW&TELL TALKS

If you'd like to talk about your project, please let us know in your RSVP so we can discuss your topic and how much time you'll need.

QS SPONSORS: OUR THANKS TO WELLNESSFX

A fantastic space is generously being provided by WellnessFX (http://www.wellnessfx.com/). Thanks too to Intel (http://intel.com), Basis (http://www.mybasis.com/), and Scanadu (http://www.scanadu.com/), our annual sponsors, for supporting the Quantified Self movement expansion across the country and around the world. Three cheers to them for making our gathering possible!

QS SPONSORSHIP AND MEETUP COSTS

We use the sponsor money to pay for professional video recording and healthy refreshments, as well as to fund projects that help the larger QS community. If you or your company are interested in sponsoring Quantified Self, please let us know.

We are asking for an $10 donation this time, to help cover the out-of-pocket costs of a smaller meetup, maybe with some fancier food! And we're experimenting with making it mandatory to help make sure that people who RSVP actually come. We will have a big waiting list again, so if you know you can't make it, please change your RSVP to No.

Thank you and see you there!
