Supernova 2004

Supernova 2004 took place this week at The Westin Santa Clara, right in the heart of Silicon Valley. I have been wanting to attend this conference for years but up until now there has always been a calendar conflict. Supernova is a unique technology conference focused on the decentralization of software, communications, and media. As with most conferences, the value is mostly in catching up with friends and colleagues in the industry and sharing insights. There were approximately 200 innovators, technologists, journalists, company CEO's and up-and-coming stars in attendance. The topics discussed included social networking, WiFi, web services, voice over IP, digital identity, broadband media, and much more.

Kevin Werbach, CEO, Supernova Group is the organizer and host of Supernova. He kicked off the conference with an excellent overview about how the world is becoming more decentralized. The first speaker,Tom Malone, Professor, MIT Sloan School of Management put a lot more meat on the bones of the topic. (read more)
