Emerging Technology Conference 2009 -- What Are Experts Covering
Interesting announcement on the O'Reilly ETech Conference, March 12-19, 2009, San Jose, CA. Do we know of anyone in our area and social/professional network that may be attending?
Focus of ETech 2009 is on Living Reinvented: The Technology of Abundance and Constraints. We'll look at the trends, tools, and technologies that operate at the intersection of abundance and scarcity, and discover how these worlds cross-pollinate and influence each other.
Sampling of the speakers is even more impressive with the associate topics they'll be covering. It will be interesting to learn the results from the SuperStruct multiplayer forecasting game.
