Making Connections in a Complex World
Just connecting to the network is no longer enough. In today’s chaotic, interconnected environment, success requires the ability to identify
key relationships, and to stand out from the crowd. New industry ecosystems are developing, while new forms of innovation emerge on top of connected platforms.
At Supernova 2006, we will examine how leading entrepreneurs, investors, and companies are not only coping with complexity, but
taking advantage of it.
Planned session and workshop topics include:
power to the people • from search to eternity • business implications of virtual worlds • web 2.0 meets the enterprise • community marketing • cutting the cords: the future of telecom • the Net is alive • rise of the videonet • the future of the desktop • who owns "you" • rethinking intellectual property • the next five billion users • and more

- The Wharton West Workshops, Reception, and Technology Showcase (June 21)
- General Sessions at the Palace Hotel (June 22-23)
- The Connected Innovators company showcase—co-hosted by TechCrunch.com
- A technology-themed evening gala
- New video/audio Media Center
