Computerworld covers the “Emerging Technologies Panel at TiECON East 2007″
Leon Sandler brought this to my notice. The Emerging Technologies Panel at TiECON East 2007 (which I was the producer for) was covered by Computerworld on June 15th.
It was great putting the panel together with Leon Sandler acting as the moderator and Dave Vieau, Asa Kalavade and Amir Alexander Hasson on the panel. We had Keith Deussing of Ironhill sponsoring the panel. Thanks are due to all of them.
We started out with the objective that we wanted to talk about how emerging technologies can disrupt existing markets and create new ones – and I guess the Computerworld report picked that up cleanly.
It was such a pleasure to hear Dave, Asa and Amir talk not only about that but what their experiences were as they tried to monetize the opportunity and what problems they faced in doing so. In true TiE spirit, the panel was intended to give a flavor for the audience of what it takes to be an entrepreneur.
Leon’s straw poll right at the start indicated that about 80% of the audience members were already or wanted to be entrepreneurs. The panelists did a great job of talking to the audience’s interest as was also evident in the Q&A and the one-on-ones after the discussion.
Here is the story:
June 15, 2007 (Computerworld) — BOSTON — Emerging technologies, which can enable the creation of new products and services, can also disrupt existing markets and create new ones, according to participants in a panel discussion today at the TIECon East 2007 conference here.
