Money:Tech 2008: Be There or Fall Behind

Some of you have heard about the Money:Tech 2008 conference in New York February 6th and 7th. Paul Kedrosky has a really good post about it that went up today. I am also participating in the program, joining an illustrious panel of investment professionals (how I got included I'll never know) including Stewart Alsop of Alsop Louie Ventures, Cary Davis of Warburg Pincus and Bruce Golden of Accel Ventures discussing investment trends and approaches at the intersection of Web 2.0 and Wall Street. I am happy to have also suggested some speakers and panel participants to Tim and Paul whom I know will add a lot to the proceedings.

I think the timing is right for a conference of this type, bringing together professionals from the buy- and sell-sides, academia, venture capital and high technology, all of whom are deeply interested in figuring out how to best leverage the Internet, leading-edge semantic technologies and innovative and flexible analytical frameworks for making money. And after all, in the worlds of Wall Street and hedge funds, isn't that really what's it's about? Innovation in this arena is only really cool if it helps you make money. If it doesn't, who cares? This isn't about winning the science fair, friends. It's about gaining an edge, an edge that can help you clean up. I hope to see you at the Waldorf-Astoria in February. It should be very, very interesting.
