'Learn Long & Prosper': George Takei Theme at Learning 2013
Elliott Masie’s Learning 2013 will feature Actor George Takei, keynoting on Storytelling, Learning & Social Media.
"Learn Long & Prosper" is the phrase Actor George Takei will
use in his keynote on Storytelling and Social Media at Learning
2013, to be held from November 3 to 6 in Orlando, Florida.
George Takei is best known for playing Sulu on the original "Star
Trek" TV series and six movies that followed. He is also
unlikely social media royalty. Unofficially dubbed
the King of Facebook, George counts 4 million fans
in his online empire - including "Trekkies" - who devour his
quirky mix of kitten jokes, "Star Trek" references, heartfelt
messages, and sci-fi/fantasy memes. His current projects include
the musical Allegiance, drawn from his experience of
growing up in a Japanese American internment camp during World War
II, and the recently published Oh Myyy! There Goes the Internet.
At Learning 2013, George Takei will be a special presenter, along
with featured keynote by Former Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton
and Journalist Jane Pauley.
"I am honored to feature George Takei, who represents decades of
experience as a storyteller, actor and advocate for change.
In addition, George has changed the nature of storytelling in the
world of social media. Over 4 million people receive, read
and distribute George's amusing and moving stories, blog posts and
cartoons. George will be appearing and interacting with over
1,400 leaders of corporate learning and workplace development,
providing a unique perspective on storytelling and digital media",
says Elliott Masie, host of Learning 2013.
Learning 2013 will be held in Orlando, Florida from November 3 to
6, 2013.
