Alex Abboud
Alex Abboud blogs at alexabboud.com, where he primarily writes about cities, ideas, and social innovation. He has been blogging for different sites since 2005, and his posts have appeared on the blogs of a number of media and prominent organizations. He also served as the Edmonton Journal’s first blogger-in-residence in 2012. Alex currently works in the non-profit housing and homelessness sector. He previously worked for advocacy groups in Alberta and Nova Scotia, and at City Hall in Edmonton.
He is a supporter of the arts, and is interested in how they enhance quality of life and interact with the city. He's looking forward to learning more on the subject, and meeting and learning from other writers this weekend.
