SHARE San Francisco is convening local leaders on Saturday May 7 for a day of connection, conversation, and action the strengthen the Bay Area as a platform for sharing.

Why SHARE SF?

Cities promise broad access to the resources citizens need to create great lives and contribute to the common good. Unfortunately, this promise is rarely realized.

However, an unprecedented opportunity to strive for prosperity and sustainability through sharing has emerged due to new technology, intensifying urbanization, the empowerment of women and minorities , and a new generation’s preference for access versus ownership.

With this opportunity in mind, SHARE SF invites you to explore how to strengthen the Bay Area as a platform for sharing through an all-day unconference.

Experts will kickoff the day with short talks about the new possibilities for sharing in the city, including:

• Lisa Gansky, serial entrepreneur and author of The Mesh: Why the Future of Business is Sharing
• Jay Nath, Director of Innovation, the city of San Francisco, and the city’s government 2.0, open data, and open source software champion
• Neal Gorenflo, publisher of Shareable Magazine, an award winning online magazine about sharing and bottum0up urban social innovation.
