Join me at the GeoNYC Meetup tomorrow in New York City. I’ll be talking about why mapping is so important to solving the world’s (supply chain) problems.

Like it or not, we are all citizens of global supply chains - with the requisite rights and responsibilities. This is the theme of my talk from this year’s Ideas Boston conference.

I am super-honored that Sourcemap was named a winner of the African News Innovation Challenge - here is a description of our project below:
End-to-End (renamed First Mile Crowdmapping) – Liberia/Ghana/Kenya
A crowdsourced reporting tool built on top of the SourceMap.com platform to help African journalists and citizens tell complex investigative stories. This tool will visually map the people, places and events behind the “first mile” of supply chains, so that consumers can understand where goods originate in African industries such as cocoa or logging. -
I was fortunate to receive the first-annual VERGE 25 Awards, celebrating executives, entrepreneurs, policy makers, thought leaders and others whose organizations and visions are building markets for such things as smarter supply chains, connected vehicles, next-generation buildings and campuses, and smart energy systems.

Supply chains are the backbone of globalization and understanding them is the key to social and environmental justice. Leonardo Bonanni will talk about Sourcemap — the first platform for supply chain transparency — which started as his Ph.D. thesis project at the Media Lab and is now a company dedicated to helping individuals and organizations find out where things come from, what they’re made of, and how they impact people and the environment.

This is the first article I wrote about Sourcemap after my PhD thesis, and does the job of explaining the original vision in a much easier-to-read format.

In 2011 I was invited to speak at Dublin Castle for the Year of Craft. The theme of this talk was: when you lose the ability to manufacture products, you lose the ability to have products manufactured for you.

NXXT Restaurant
In 2009, I designed the NXXT Restaurant in Chicago - including the furniture. Unfortunately the business was short-lived. But the design is still nice.

In 2010 I was interviewed by Murray Carpenter of Public Radio International’s The World for a piece entitled Tracking Environmental Footprints

This is the first big talk I gave about Sourcemap, when it was still a research project.
