Nexus 2007, Are You Going?
There has been a lot of buzz about un-conferences lately with the events organised by Barcamp and Enterpreneur 27. But this month, the event gets slightly bigger, it’s back to a conference style, called Nexus 2007, organised by Digital Movement.
If you have heard of Barcamp and Entrepreneur 27, you probably should have heard about Digital Movement, if you are not, well, they are basically a bunch of young people who are craving for technology and business, they are the new generation of technology enthusiasts who are ‘curious, fun, informal’, and avoid ‘hierarchy and formality’. Yeah, I don’t like those two as well.
Nexus 2007 aims to discuss fundamental changes happening in business and technology, and how to take the lead in them. Though I have my doubt I’ll be able to take the lead by just attending one conference, I still hope so. Irregardless, I believe it is going to be an exciting event.
It is probably the first conference Digital Movement organise (I looked at the past events, none seems to be a conference), yet I’m already impressed with the people they have lined up:
- David Miller, President, Asia Pacific/Japan, Lenovo
- Andreas Weigend, Former Chief Scientist of Amazon.com
- Cory Ondrejka, CTO, Linden Labs (Second Life)
- Nathan Torkington, O’Reilly Radar
- Kathy Teo, MD, CNET Networks Asia Pacific
- Jennifer Lewis, Editor, Stomp
- James Seng, Editor, Tomorrow.SG
- Velvet Puffin, co-founder and CEO, R. Chandrasekar
And there are more, please check out the agenda here.
Since Digital Movement belives in ‘fun’, the registration is only $15, inclusive of 2 tea breaks and lunch; coz it won’t be fun anymore if it costs a couple of hundred bucks, right? Well, I heard some rumours that half the seats are already taken up, so if you are going, you probably should register now.
For those who are going, c ya there.
p.s. I’ve warned you that Digital Movement comprises of highly enthusiastic young people, they won’t be satisfied with Nexus alone, there’s a preliminary event on 22nd March, called GeekOut, a platform where technologists can show off their toys. If you knock off from office early that day, you may want to check it out too.
