Myles Weissleder
Myles has been empowering people via the Internet ever since he caught the Internet bug in San Francisco in 1994.  At that time he attempted to bring SF’s popular coin operated email kiosks to New York City before anyone in New York City had apparently heard of email.  Since then he’s been knee-deep in helping bring good things to life, online — and off.

Myles presently serves clients he loves through Mylermedia, a consultancy he formed to help companies — like CNN, chi.mp, Familybuilder, EkkoTV, MyThings, Power.com, Green By Design, ReframeIt, Toobla, 3banana, among others — solidify keen communications and new business strategies that result in excellent media and public relations.

Myles is also the founder of SF New Tech, San Francisco’s largest and longest running community group and regular event series for technology lovers in San Francisco. Over 4,000 local technology buffs have joined SF New Tech to learn about its monthly events where companies show off what they’ve been working on via live demos in front of sold out rooms.
