Son of a Greek shipowner and Olympic skier, Nick grew up in New York, Switzerland, and Connecticut before landing at MIT in the 1960's.  He never quite left. Founder and now Chairman Emeritus of the Media Lab, as well as One Laptop Per Child, much recent technological change has found Nicholas at the epicenter.  In a sense, it's his fault.

Register for EG 2020.

30 April - 2 May 2020

Our team has been working hard behind the scenes to bring you a superb program for EG2020. However, in light of growing and legitimate concerns regarding the rapid spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) which have gutted international events of all sizes, we have made the difficult decision to put EG on hiatus until it is once again deemed safe.


We know how much each of you look forward to EG and we were looking forward to seeing old friends, and welcoming many new ones, but we do need to prioritize the health and safety of our attendees, presenters, and partners, especially those traveling from afar.

We will be in touch in due course with future plans.
