OVERVIEW
Collaborative Consumption describes the rapid explosion in swapping, sharing, bartering, trading and renting occurring within our society. These trends are being reinvented through the latest technologies and peer-to-peer marketplaces in ways and on a scale never possible before.
Nir Benzvi will be our guest presenter. He has a keen interest in entrepreneurial ventures, and has been involved in a variety of projects in and around San Diego. By exploring things like bike-sharing schemes, private housing collectives and local resilient, sharing communities, we will gain a greater understanding of the power of free-market collaboration.
