On the Ethic of Delivery – Required Watching

On the Ethic of Delivery – Required Watching

By Ben Kepes on January 23, 2013

Over the past few years I’ve been a kind of informal adviser to the Defrag event. The role is less than onerous, Eric Norlin totally understands what his participants (and at defrag, attendees really are participants and not simply an audience) most want to see. Defrag has always been a

Mind Blown at Defrag

Mind Blown at Defrag

By Dave Michels on November 16, 2011

Defrag is an unusual conference. The simplest way to describe it as TED for geeks. Lots of these tech folks are really smart, and when given a forum to speak about whatever they want might result with interesting ideas. The conference creator, Eric Norlin, figured there is no shortage of cloud, social business, mobile, etc. events, but […]

Upcoming Conference: Defrag

Upcoming Conference: Defrag

By Dave Michels on November 2, 2011

Coming up next is Defrag – this is a pretty unique conference. Unlike most of my events that are focused on telecom, this one is a bit of a tangent. The content is phenomenal. The conference is 5 years old, and organizer Eric Norlin works to keep it intimate. Eric describes Defrag as the first […]

Is there a disconnect between Big Data and the Web of Data ?

Is there a disconnect between Big Data and the Web of Data ?

By Paul Miller on December 1, 2010

Image via Wikipedia ‘Big Data‘ is currently capturing the imagination, attracting hype, investment and ambitious startups in almost equal measure. Kim and Eric Norlin’s excellent Defrag and Glue events have gained big-name company, with O’Reilly‘s Strata and GigaOM‘s Structure both set to arrive in the first quarter of 2011. Venture firms like IA Ventures have emerged, specifically […]

Software is Roadkill

Software is Roadkill

By John Taschek on November 24, 2010

The fastest way to become roadkill to venture capitalists is to become a software company. Software may not be inherently evil (it has created wealth for many people that is in proportion to the pain it has provided to many customers). Software and specifically on-premise enterprise software, however, is clearly…

“Why don’t you move it to California?”

“Why don’t you move it to California?”

By Guest Authors on October 27, 2010

It’s a question that I hear probably 6-8 times per “conference cycle” (ie, 6 to 8 times per year for every conference I run): “Why don’t you move Defrag to California?” Now admittedly, my personality bristles a bit at the suggestion. Over the years, I’ve tried to find ways to stay calm — but I’ll […]

CloudAve Special: 3 – No, 5! – Free Tickets To Defrag

By Krishnan Subramanian on October 21, 2010

Every year, when we get depressed about the darkness that is going to engulf many of us on the northern side of the country after the Daylight Savings time change, the only thing that keep our spirits up is the upcoming Defrag Conference. No this is not a hyperbole but a fact which many of the […]

Glue is Coming – Win Free tickets

By Ben Kepes on May 4, 2010

In less than two weeks I’ll be winging my way half way around the world (for the third time this year). So why do I put myself through it? Well in part because I get to attend such awesome events as one I’ll be taking part in at the Omni Interlaken in Denver in a […]

T Shirt Friday #32 – defrag

By Ben Kepes on February 26, 2010

Everyone knows that professional conference goers like myself attend events not to listen to presentations, not to network but to collect schwag. Over the past couple of years I’ve done fairly well collecting tech t-shirts and I decided to create a weekly series critiquing tech companies t-shirt offerings in the expectation that a company with […]

A podcast with Flip Kromer of InfoChimps… and the end of an era

By Paul Miller on December 17, 2009

I’ve been following InfoChimps for some time, intrigued by their aspiration to build a marketplace for data that combines the free with the paid. Thanks to the team at Jones-Dilworth (honestly, does Josh have any clients that aren’t interesting?) I managed to get some time with founder Philip (Flip) Kromer and Joseph Kelly whilst over […]

A podcast with Felix Van de Maele, discussing Collibra

By Paul Miller on December 17, 2009

Steve Ardire introduced me to Felix Van de Maele, CEO of Brussels-based Collibra, at the Defrag conference in Denver last month. We met again at the European Semantic Technology Conference (ESTC), where Collibra won the seedcamp event. I spoke with Felix recently to record a podcast exploring the issues that Collibra sets out to address […]

EventVue Chatter – Sometimes the Simplest Ideas are the Best

By Ben Kepes on December 9, 2009

At the defrag conference in Denver in November, many attendees were intrigued, excited and committed users of a product from Colorado company EventVue. EventVue was founded in 2007 by Josh Fraser & Rob Johnson. And they’re alumni of the inaugural class of TechStars. Originally the EventVue offering focused on attendee list functionality, giving conference attendees […]

Twitter and the Ricochet Effect

Twitter and the Ricochet Effect

By Guest Authors on November 17, 2009

Defrag came to Denver. I couldn’t go, which was particularly difficult for those of us going through conference withdrawal after three great days at Enterprise 2.0 in San Francisco. I’m a conference junkie. I like the excitement of live events. To me, industry conferences are Shakespearian theatre wrapped in a religious revival tent. Live events […]
