Event Summary

As we kick off a new year, you may want to start a new project or business, or maybe you want to make an already existing product better or more efficient. After leading teams that built the iPod and first iPhone, Tony Fadell shares his insights and lessons learned in his book, “Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making.” He shares personal experiences and practical tips for growing professionally, building a business, and problem-solving through challenges you’re facing.

Join us as we discuss Fadell’s unorthodox views and advice on how we can better develop and improve the projects and environments around us. Bring your thoughts and be prepared to contribute to this exciting conversation moderated by Brad Englert, CEO and founder of Brad Englert Advisory and Austin Forum board member. We encourage you to read the book (or a summary) but invite you to join even if you haven’t as we will explore the themes of the book at large.
