The New Yorker Summit is taking place today at New York University. (A bit more convenient location than the Conference of previous years, which was held way over by the West Side Highway, in Chelsea.)

The lineup includes many luminaries, including Howard Dean, Geoffrey Canada, Nassim N. Taleb, Naomi Klein, and Elizabeth Edwards, along with familiar personages from the magazine like Seymour Hersh, Malcolm Gladwell, James Surowiecki, Ryan Lizza, and on and on. (Here's the schedule.)

If I weren't on the other side of the Atlantic, I would so be covering this. Failing that, we refer you to Jason Kottke, who has promised "some sort of live-ish coverage."

More to come as the magazine posts reports, videos, and the like. Attendees, I wish you all intellectual, social, and culinary pleasure.

Update: The group NYU Students Organizing for America is covering the summit live via Twitter.
