My Presentation to the Presidential Innovation Fellows

by Kin Lane on 10/24/2012

I spent two hours with a handful of the Presidential Innovation Fellows in Washington DC yesterday. They were some super savvy folks from a wide variety of agencies and backgrounds including education, energy and health.

During my two hours with them I walked through several areas of the API industry, from my perspective, including:

History of APIs
API Planning & Design
API Development
Business of APIs
API Service Providers
API Tools, Services, Platforms
Politics of APIs
API Evangelism
What’s Next for APIs

You can access my innovation fellows presentation off API Evangelist, I’ll leave it up permanently. It’s minus all my commentary and banter, but hopefully it will give you an idea of what I covered. If you’d like a custom presentation on it, let me know and I’ll see if I can find a slot to do a Google Hangout.

I had a blast talking to the Presidential Fellows, and I hope that I left them with some value that will help them be successful in their various initiatives. They are already halfway through their sprint, and have a lot of expectations put on them.

I will be following their progress closely and publish any stories I can on their progress.
