Olio 6, one year anniversary

Lowell — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:59:05 +0000

A little more than a year ago I suggested the idea for Olio to my wife over dinner. She responded with loads of support and a small dose of realism; “Perhaps you could start small and hold it in our living room.” Neither of us imagined the hundred plus crowd that arrived at the first event last February… With that in mind I would like to announce the 6th Edition of Olio!

Olio 6th Ed. Speakers (currently confirmed):

Aaron Fein – Architect & Designer
Kakee Scott – Researcher
Pete Sandfort – Owner, Sarisand Tile
Bill Hess – Glass Artist & Designer
Vlad Gavrilovic, AICP – Principal, Renaissance Planning Group
Damien Subit – Research Scientist at UVa, Center for Applied Biomechanics
Erin Root & others – architecture students, UVA SARC
Douglas Olson – Playback Theatre

Spots still available. Stay tuned for more updates!
