Eckhart Tolle, Silicon Valley Leaders to be Featured at Wisdom 2.0

Redwood City, CA (PRWEB) November 03, 2011

The Wisdom 2.0 Conference is a one-of-a-kind event in Silicon Valley which brings together people from a variety of disciplines, including technology leaders, Zen teachers, neuroscientists, and academics, to explore the merging of wisdom in modern life. Founded in 2009 by Soren Gordhamer, author of Wisdom 2.0: Ancient Secrets for the Creative and Constantly Connected, the Wisdom 2.0 Conference is rapidly becoming a staple of the Silicon Valley calendar; in 2011, the conference sold out a month early, and the livestream garnered 284,000 views.

"In our increasingly connected lives, are we going to live more distracted and overwhelmed," asks Gordhamer, "or can we live mindfully and wisely, and use technology for a greater purpose?" At the third annual Wisdom 2.0 Conference this February, wisdom teachers such as Eckhart Tolle and Jon Kabat-Zinn will join technology leaders, including the founders of Facebook, Paypal and Zynga, to explore this vital question.

The 2012 conference boasts more than 25 presenters, including Dustin Moskovitz, co-founder of Facebook and Asana; Padmasree Warrior, Chief Technology Officer of Cisco Systems; Karen May, Vice President of Google; and Premal Shah, president of kiva.org. These technology gurus will share the stage with mindfulness teacher Jon Kabat-Zinn; Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield; yoga activist Seane Corn; and for the first time, Eckhart Tolle, whom Oprah calls the father of the now. Tolle is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Power of Now and the highly acclaimed follow-up A New Earth, and is regarded as one of the most influential spiritual teachers of his generation.

Together, Wisdom 2.0 presenters and participants will explore ways for the constantly-connected modern person to evolve and thrive in a dramatically changing world. There is little question whether the external technologies of our age, from computers to cell phones, will continue to advance, says Gordhamer. The more vital question is whether our internal technologies of wisdom and compassion will advance along with them.

Wisdom 2.0 2012 will be held February 23rd - 26th at Hotel Sofitel in Redwood City, California and at Googles corporate headquarters in Mountain View. For more information, visit Wisdom 2.0 online at http://www.wisdom2conference.com.

Wisdom 2.0 is, quite possibly, the most important gathering of our times."

Rich Fernandez, Director of Executive Development, Google

"Wisdom 2.0 has catalyzed I think the next wave of what is actually happening in Silicon Valley, this wave of awareness.

The government officials we are working with see MESH as a lower cost, more IT compatible technology than the older Wiegand platform. Based on this response we have increased our Homeland Security marketing including this month's Border and Transportation Security Report sent to 15,000 US government security officials."

Pineau added: "Access-control technology, whether through MESH intelligent readers or our recent biometric add-ons, is concerned, at the highest level, with allowing the right people access to secure sites and keeping the wrong people out.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 24, 2011

Epicure Digital, a leader in digital menu boards, presents the Epicure Digital Menu System with special emphasis on nutritional labeling at the Texas Restaurant Association Southwest Foodservice Expo, Dallas Convention Center, Dallas, Texas, June 26-28, 2011, Booth #611 with Brad Waller & Associates

Epicure Digital custom designs highly graphical digital menu board systems to solve your complex menu and point-of-sale marketing issues.

Epicure Digital specializes in developing nutritional menu labeling systems to educate and inform customers to make healthier meal choices.

Epicure Digital menu boards help customers become aware of their choices, helping them make the right decision to achieve a balanced life by eating well. These systems provide tools to increase efficiency, revenues and profitability.

Restaurants have an amazing opportunity to help customers identify menu items that meet their dining needs, according to Kim Blum, MS, RD, at KB Nutrition Consulting in Dallas, TX. Whether it is a food allergy, a medical condition, or any other dietary preference necessitating a menu accommodation, it is important for customers to know which menu items meet specific health guidelines contain allergens. Many restaurants are now identifying gluten free recipes in addition to making other health claims such as low fat, low carb, or heart healthy.

There is a need for restaurants to operate in accordance with current trends. According to the Nielsen Co., 76% of adults said they are trying to eat healthier now at restaurants than they did two years ago (National Restaurant Association Top Ten Facts in 2011). So, this is the perfect opportunity for restaurants to accommodate customer preferences by highlighting foods on their menu boards that meet certain caloric and nutritional guidelines.

Kim Blum is the owner of KB Nutrition Consulting in Dallas, TX. KB Nutrition is dedicated to working with restaurants to provide the nutrition information for their recipes, identify allergens and work to modify recipes to meet certain health guidelines.

Operators can change prices and menus, schedule menus and promotions by day part and menu cycle, and display other information such as nutritional labeling and data, videos, photos, and live feeds from the Internet. Clients operate more efficiently and engage customers in powerful new ways.

Epicure Digital engineers and designs customized digital menu boards for each client that solve their complex menu engineering and point-of-sale marketing issues with multi-screen and multi-station digital menus, signage and greeter board systems.

In new construction, remodeling and renovation projects, Epicure Digital works closely with food service consultants and clients to determine the best digital menu system strategy and participates in the management of the projects from concept phase to full implementation.
