We had the great pleasure of sitting down and talking with Vincent Horn of Buddhist Geeks to discuss ReWire, meditation and technology. Subscribe to their amazing podcast and look for part II coming out soon.

Dear Buddhist Geeks, We've been working hard behind-the-scenes at BG headquarters since we first launched the Buddhist Geeks Conference in December. Over the past two months, we've added some fantastic new speakers, musicians, and conference partners. We're stoked to welcome Matt Flannery, CEO of Kiva.org and Contemplative Scientist Willoughby Britton to our speaker line-up as well as Writer-Director-Actor-Comedian-Songwriter Stuart Davis and performance artist Meghan Wolf. And for more geeky fun, we added a BG after-party to celebrate our time together, equipped with live DJs and a rockin' dance party! Surprisingly, we even sold out of our super early-bird tickets a month before the sale officially ended. Because of this, we suggest you get your tickets soon to guarantee your spot at the second-annual Buddhist Geeks Conference, August 9th - 11th, at the University Memorial Center in Boulder, Colorado. Not Your Normal Buddhist Conference Featuring over 2-days of live event content including informative keynote addresses, power punched TED-style talks, and provocative roundtable discussions, as well as community-led unplugged sessions, the Buddhist Geeks Conference is one of the only events on the planet where you can participate at the intersection of Buddhism, technology, and global culture. This year's line-up includes Buddhist innovators, technology geeks, next-generation leaders, skilled teachers, and Buddhist authors including Lama Surya Das, Tami Simon, Stephen Batchelor, Martine Batchelor, Ken McLeod, Elizabeth Mattis Namgyel, Matt Flannery, Daniel Ingram, Willoughby Britton, Susan Kaiser Greenland, Micheal Stone, Sofia Diaz, Vincent Horn & Rohan Gunatillake. Musical performances by Stuart Davis and Meghan Wolf. And to celebrate our time together, a Buddhist Geeks after-party with appearances by Kelly Sosan Bearer (DJ Sosan) plus more hot DJs throughout the evening.

Discover the Emerging Face(s) of Buddhism LIVE We recognize that some Buddhist events can be boring, predictable, and tend to draw on the same group of speakers, again and again. Instead, we wanted to curate an event which had a completely fresh and innovative format, in which we could explore new topics with geeky enthusiasm. The Buddhist Geeks Conference includes a wide range of exciting formats including: Keynote Addresses | Opening & closing addresses followed by live musical performances BG Live | Power-packed Ted-style presentations BG Roundtables | Stimulating and provocative panels on the key conference themes BG Unplugged | Open space or unconference spaces where you curate the conversations you want to have | Facilitated practice workshops or open meditation spaces. BG After-party | A DJ dance party to celebrate our time together after the official close of the event. Register now to save $75 off the regular ticket price - Limited to 50 people. Let's discover the emerging faces of Buddhism together at this year's Buddhist Geeks Conference! In deep service, The Buddhist Geeks Crew
