An Extended Virtual Conversation

Supernova is a real-world event enhanced by an extended online community.  Although there is no substitute for the on-site interactions and networking, we welcome your virtual participation through our unique array of content and connectivity tools. 

The Conversation Hub features a thought leader group blog, microblogging channel, news feeds, podcasts, live session audio streaming, live video, photo feeds, and video reports.  The Community Connection offer social networking tools such as people search, wikis, and IRC chat, for connecting and interacting with the Supernova community.  Join us!

Defining the New Network

Supernova examines the effects of an increasingly connected world on business, life, and public policy.  As disparate physical and social networks link with one another, a new societal network is rapidly evolving. 

The New Network is greater than the sum of its parts.  It challenges us to re-create everything from the software and hardware we use...to the business models we employ...to the information and entertainment we encounter...to the ways we work and play.  At Supernova 2007, we’ll explore these new challenges.  Session and Connected Challenge topics include: 

Dark Matter: Are We Missing the Real Internet Economy? " Virtual Life or Virtual Hype? " Enterprise IT: The Next Great Disruption? " Better Broadband? " Is “User-Generated Content” the Future, or the Last Gasp of the Past? " Do You Know Where Your Identity Is? " Social Media, Social Commerce, Social Communications " Making Computers Smart: A Dumb Idea? " Is the Network Neutrality Battle Over… or Has it Just Begun? " Conversational Advertising: Attention vs. Engagement " Will Copyright Kill Social Media? " Innovation in the Age of Abundance " Does the Internet Need an Upgrade?
