Some social interactions can't be automated (yet), but the pursuit of them certainly can.

The founders of online and offline career and dating services will explain how new technology and new social norms are changing the way people find love and money at the Hillside Club in Berkeley, on Sunday, September 21.

Speakers include:

* danah boyd, UC Berkeley

* Julie Paiva, President, Table for Six
* Mark Pincus, CEO, Tribe
* Cynthia Typaldos, Founder and President, Software Product Marketing eGroup & ProfGuilds
