Quantified Self Show&Tell and Book Launch

Quantified Self is back in New York. It's been a while. Our last Show&Tell was in March 2017. Almost ten years. It's time to bring the community back together. We're doing a special evening of self-tracking Show&Tell talks, tool demos, and the launch of Gary Wolf's new book, The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe (Workman, on sale Oct 6). Come reconnect with old friends, meet new people, see what our community is building, and hear what everyone's been tracking. Space is limited to 60, and spots fill up fast, so please RSVP as soon as you can. 6:30–7:00 pm · Social gathering & demos We'll start with drinks, demos, and time to reconnect. If you're building something useful for self-trackers, you're welcome to demo at a table before and after the program. Interested in demoing? Apply here. 7:00–8:15 pm · Welcome, the QS book, and Show&Tell talks A quick welcome, a few words from Dr. Jay Varma on Civic Health, and from Gary Wolf on the new book and where the movement goes from here. Then our main event will follow with a few Show&Tell talks from people running their own self-tracking experiments. Each talk runs about 10–15 minutes. Have a project to share? Fill out this form. 8:15–8:30 pm · Social & Demos Talk to the speakers, ask people what they're tracking, and hang out. "What did you do? How did you do it? What did you learn?" These 3 questions are the format for our QS Show&Tell talks. How you did it usually teaches the room more than what you found out, and it’s often what leads to new questions and ideas. Tickets: $15 per person. $48 per person includes the event and a copy of The Quantified Self: Learning to Observe (Workman Publishing). New to Quantified Self?

Heads up: By RSVPing, you agree that we'll share your name with our host, the Civic Health community. You can opt out. Thank you, and see you there!

The event will be hosted by the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, whose team shared that they are longtime admirers of both Nick’s and Gary’s work. Doors will open at 6:30 PM, and the program will run from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. RSVP here.
