Nick Bilton

Keynote Speaker: New York Times Lead Technology Writer

Nick Bilton Biography

As the lead technology writer for The New York Times' Bits Blog and the author of the acclaimed I Live in the Future & Here's How It Works, Nick Bilton is an expert on how our byte-sized and ever-mobile culture affects our brains and our lives, and how companies can harness that knowledge to engage consumers and grow their business.

Previously the design integration editor for The New York Times and the user interface specialist and researcher for The New York Times Company Research and Development Lab, Bilton explored technologies that could become commonplace within the next ten years.

Outside of The Times, he helped co-found NYCResistor, a hacker space in Brooklyn that offers hardware and programming classes and allows people to collectively work on innovative open source hardware and robotics projects. He is also currently an adjunct professor for New York University's interactive telecommunications program. His work has also appeared in Wired, Engadget, Scientific America, ABC, CNet, O'Reilly Radar, and AlleyInsider.

In an ever-changing world of technology, social media, mobile devices, and integration, it's hard to not only keep up, but plan ahead. In his enlightening multimedia presentations, Bilton bolsters his audience's confidence by explaining that despite living in an age of continuous advancements, the way human beings collect information remains the same throughout time: a method based in primitive storytelling.

Nick Bilton holds a degree in journalism and documentary film from the New School University and a degree in graphic design from the School of Visual Arts.
