Conference
Overview
|
|
Hackers and other
lead users are a great early warning system if
you want to think about the future of
technology. Because they are more capable with
computers than most users, they do things today
that everyone else will be doing in a couple of
years.
But the conference isn't just for hackers. For
investors and entrepreneurs, watching the alpha
geeks is a lot like watching the water flow in a
rainstorm before deciding where to dig your
ditches.
