Building Great Things

What does it take to design technologies that change the world? Who are the people behind the gadgets you love? What does it REALLY take to be successful in Silicon Valley? 

Tony Fadell had a hand in creating some of the most influential devices of all time, including the iPod, the iPhone, and the Nest thermostat that pioneered the Internet of Things. With over 300 patents and 30+ years of experience founding companies and designing products that profoundly affect people’s lives, he’s ready to share hard-won insights about leadership, design, and startups from his new book Build: An Unorthodox Guide to Making Things Worth Making.  

Museum members are invited to attend a reception prior to the event.  

What You’ll Learn 

• Is my idea good or bad?

Join us to experience the trademark energy, irreverence, and vision that have made Tony a Silicon Valley icon.
