Finally, something good.
Stefan Sagmeister
Tuesday February 17, 7pm
Check-in starts at 6pm
Stefan Sagmeister looks at the world from a long-term perspective and presents designs and visualizations that arrive at very different conclusions than you get from Twitter and TV news.
Tickets typically go on sale to Long Now members two weeks in advance and then to the public. Most talks sell out quickly due to our small capacity. "Patron tickets" are usually available after other tickets sell out. They include a reserved seat and are partially tax deductible.
Talk begins at 7pm; we recommend arriving earlier for more seating options. The Interval reopens to the public by 8:30pm. (All times are in Pacific Time)
A live videostream of most talks is available. Each talk is free for Long Now members at http://longnow.org/live
