Event Details

The Association’s Western Chapter is delighted to invite Bob Goodson to present a webinar on Wednesday, 22 April from 6.30pm. Bob is the author of the Harvard Business Review book  Like: The Button That Changed the World, a riveting, insider’s look at the creation and evolution of the like button and what it reveals about innovation, business, and culture—and its profound impact on modern human interaction.

Over 160 billion times a day, someone taps a like button. How could something that came out of nowhere become so ubiquitous—and even so addictive? How did this seemingly ordinary social media icon go from such a small and unassuming invention to something so intuitive and universally understood that it has scaled well beyond its original intent? This is the story of the like button and how it changed our lives. In Like, bestselling author and renowned strategy expert Martin Reeves and coauthor Bob Goodson — Silicon Valley veteran and one of the originators of the like button — take readers on a quest to uncover the origins of the thumbs-up gesture, how it became an icon on social media, and what’s behind its power.
