Andy Kessler and the Rise of Feudalism 2.0

Andy Kessler and the Rise of Feudalism 2.0

By Ben Kepes on November 11, 2009

I wasn’t going to liveblog the defrag conference – I figured I’d partake more. The opening session this morning kind of changed my view of that. Andy Kessler gave the opening keynote that he entitled “Be Solyent, Eat People” Eric Norlin, the organizer of defrag made a smart choice with Kessler – he’s brash, opinionated […]

T-Shirt Friday #16 - Glue

T-Shirt Friday #16 – Glue

By Ben Kepes on November 6, 2009

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 […]

Defrag is one of the well attended conferences, organized by Eric Norlin. Just check out the conference agenda to see the value one can get from Defrag.

3 Free Tix to the Glue Conference

By Zoli Erdos on April 27, 2009

How timely of Rick  Burnes to post his Trade Show Trouble cartoon.  It expresses my feelings about large trade shows and conferences – am I suffering from acute conferencitis?   Yes, large shows are half-dead nowadays – but some conferences are worth attending even in bad times. The Glue Conference on May 12-13th in Denver may […]

Some Conferences Are Worth Attending Even in Bad Times

By Zoli Erdos on January 23, 2009

Layoff news day by day, major conferences are getting canned  left and right. In lean times, the Conference-in-the-Cloud concept starts looking more and more attractive.  Still, there’s no true substitute for real, live, face-to-face discussions and networking. Except it does not really happen at a lot of major conferences: session rooms are often deserted, there’s […]

What’s a Web Conference Without the Web?

What’s a Web Conference Without the Web?

By Zoli Erdos on December 11, 2008

Le Web is  Europe’s largest Web 2.0 conference, with 1,800 participants from all around the world coughing up $2K each to listen to sessions, mingle, and to demo their startups to their peers, media and VC’s.  It’s considered a gathering of influencers,  so much so, that 2 years ago then Presidential Candidate Nicolas Sarkozy found […]

Come to Defrag: Denver, November 3-4.

By Zoli Erdos on October 27, 2008

Next week I’ll be in Denver, attending Defrag, a boutique, intellectual, intense, very participatory conference.  I’m attending despite the fact that I’ve cut down on conference attendance, not because of the current economic turmoil, but largely due to burnout.  After a while they just all feel the same: empty session rooms, bored exhibitors, people just […]

Cloudy News from Startup-Land

By Zoli Erdos on October 9, 2008

Just because I wrote How Software Can Be Resilient to Recession doesn’t mean I’m naive enough to declare that all SaaS businesses are recession-proof – they just have a better model to weather the storm, which is now inevitable.  VC Preps Portfolio Companies for Survival Mode OM Malik, who is now a VC Partner himself […]
