Some weeks ago I had the pleasure of attending the Grid09 conference organised by Bonnier, the Swedish media empire. This event brought together authors, journalists, publishers, tv-people – you name it, from near and far to think about the big ideas for the future. A superbly inspiring bunch of speakers, of whom I was privileged to be one of and tons of interesting topics – my only regret was that I wish I could have stayed for longer. Fortunately the expert producers of the event, well versed with technology – have managed to capture the presentations and make them available online for all to see!
Go to www.bonnier.com/gridmeeting to see the presentations – I particularly recommend the one from Steven Berlin Johnson on the ecosystems of news, which is a nice preamble to my own talk about eco-systems involving users – and to not forget what is really important in life: meet Abraham Verghese and his stories of life and death. A truly memorable event – well done to Stefan Mehr and co for putting it all together!
