When:

26th February 2010, 12:45PM

Where:

Nicholas Christakis, author of 'Connected: The surprising power of our social networks and how they shape our lives', and Professor of Sociology, Medical Sociology and Medicine, Harvard University
Richard Horton, Editor, The Lancet
Richard Reeves, Director, Demos (Chair)

'Connected' describes how inextricably interconnected  we are with one another and how this makes up an unknowingly collaraborative society. It argues how social connections influences our behavior from our purchasing choices to voting habits.

Dr. Christakis will discuss the arguments of 'Connected' and explore how we can best harness the power of these relationships, with a response from Richard Horton, Editor of The Lancet. A public Q&A chaired by Demos' Director Richard Reeves will follow.

The event will take place at 12.45 for a 1pm start on Friday 26 February 2010, at Demos, 3rd Floor Magdalen House, 136 Tooley Street, London SE1 2TU.
