Kirsten joined mediabistro.com after a brief stint in Beijing working on the Olympics and a longer tenure at GE. Madly at work on mediabistro.com's first conference, she is on an impassioned quest for the coolest ideas, speakers and innovators in media and technology. When she's not in New York at work or at play, she freelances as a travel writer and can be found in a window seat, indulging in her iPod playlists.
