Supernova week is here!
It’s over. And so it begins.
I’ve spent the past several months with my team and friends putting Supernova together, through a maelstrom of email messages, phone calls, meetings, text messages, wiki notes, Skype chats, blog posts, social network pings, and the occasional in-world chat in Second Life and World of Warcraft. This week, that part of the work is done. The planning is over. And the real fun begins.
I’m thrilled that so many amazing people will be joining us at Supernova 2007. The magic of interpersonal interactions is what, to me, makes real-world events still worth it, despite all these wonderful tools for virtual communication.
This year’s Supernova is packed to the gills with four full days of activities. We start on Tuesday with the Open Space Workshop, a self-organized “unconference” that is open to anyone who wants to attend. Our friends at Jaiku are hosting a that evening at the Adaptive Path offices. On Wednesday, we open the formal Supernova festivities with the Challenge Day at Wharton West, including an all-conference reception that evening, followed by two days of General Sessions at the Westin St. Francis Hotel.
For those of you joining us in person for some or all of the festivities in San Francisco, I look forward to seeing you. And for everyone following virtually through the Conversation Hub and other mechanisms, thanks for participating in the extended Supernova community. This week, let’s have some provocative, productive fun together.
