Our good friends at Meshin tweeted about an event happening at PARC (Paolo Alto Research Center) on Thursday revolving around context. Something the folks at Meshin know well. If you’re not familiar with Meshin they are doing some incredible things with semantics and context and revolving it around Evernote. Their Meshin Recall app allows you to organize notes and tag them to your calendar rather than sort them out with hashtags which get easily as messy as not having tags at all.

It’s this context that Meshin uses to relate your notes to something that is fueling this panel discussion with some thought leaders in the context space. If you’re in the Paolo Alto area you may want to attend this great discussion. The event runs from 5:00pm to 6:30 with networking from 6:00-6:30 and will be moderated by social media guru Dave Peck.

More after the break

The panelists are Oliver Brdiczka who is the manager of contextual intelligence research at PARC, Phillip Constantinou who is the Vice President  of Products at Evernote and Chris Holmes who is the CEO and CoFounder at Meshin.

We learned a while back in confidence some of the things that Meshin and PARC are working on in the contextual intelligence space and they are just amazing. As we move forward and become more and more reliant on the cloud and the mobile device it’s the research that’s coming out of PARC that’s going to keep our brains on straight.

If you’re looking for a great discussion from some industry thought leaders on the evolution of contextual intelligence this event may be for you. And remember that PARC is a subsidiary of Xerox, without Xerox ultimately there would be no Mac and probably no iPhone.  –just sayin
