Providence Geeks is proud to co-sponsor this free, public event with Jason Fried, which will take the place of our regularly scheduled program. The monthly Geek Dinner will return the evening of November 19th.

Co-hosted by the Business Innovation Factory and RI Nexus

Fresh from his appearance at the BIF-4 Summit, 37signals founder Jason Fried will join Rhode Island’s info-tech and digital media community at the Black Repertory Company in downtown Providence on October 15 at 6:30 pm for a free, public event.

The evening will feature an onstage interview with Jason, open Q&A and socializing. This is a unique opportunity for Rhode Island’s info-tech and digital media community and Jason to get to know one another.

Jason is a passionate leader in the field of simple, clear and elegant web application design. He spearheaded the concept, design and development of Basecamp, 37signals’ web-based project management tool for designers, freelancers and creative services firms. Jason is a co-author of the bestselling and highly-influential book, “Getting Real: The Smarter, Faster, Easier Way to Build a Successful Web Application,” as well as of the popular blog, Signal vs. Noise.

Many thanks to the Business Innovation Factory for facilitating Jason’s visit to Rhode Island and for making this event possible.
