Here's a great opportunity to hear New York Times columnist David Pogue speak in Omaha at the AIM Institute IT Futures Forum on November 4th!

From AIM's event page:

David Pogue is the personal-technology columnist for the New York Times. Each week, he contributes a print column, an online column, an online video and a popular daily blog, “Pogue’s Posts.”

David is also an Emmy award-winning tech correspondent for CBS News, and he appears each week on CNBC with his trademark comic tech videos.

With over 3 million books in print, David is one of the world’s bestselling how-to authors. He wrote or co-wrote seven books in the “for Dummies” series (including Macs, Magic, Opera, and Classical Music); in 1999, he launched his own series of complete, funny computer books called the Missing Manual series, which now includes over 100 titles.

He’s been profiled on both “48 Hours” and “60 Minutes.” He lives with his wife and three young children in Connecticut.

Pogue's talk, titled "Disruptive Tech: What's New, What's Coming and How it Will Change Everything," will sure to be both informative and entertaining.  Here's just a piece of what you can expect...

New, innovative technologies come down the pike every year, and plenty get lots of press. But which technologies will move beyond fad to cause major, disruptive change? Which innovations will open up new markets, allow your company to be more efficient or change the way you communicate with your clients and employees?

As the New York Time's tech reviewer, David Pogue holds a front-row seat for observing the blazing-fast torrent of new inventions. In his entertaining and insightful presentation, Pogue will display, discuss and even demonstrate the technological advances — the booming PDA market, mobile computing, Web 2.0, and more — that will have the most impact on society in the coming years.
