Jared Beard has been a super nerd from the minute he and his evil twin brother hacked away at the innards of their Commodore 64. With more than 20 years as a youth leader, educator, paradigm shifter and IT mega-geek, Beard has been at the bleeding edge of all the good and bad the Internet has offered. As a Web/media business owner, information technology director and instructor in MBA and MSIS programs at Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, Beard entertains and challenges audiences while sneaking in just enough theory and real-world knowledge to help planners hash out their next steps into this brave new world.
