TiECon Participant Can Predict Future – *NOT*

TiEcon 2007 will only start tomorrow, but PanAsiaBiz already reports:

“I am listening to the opening speech….of TiECon 2007. In the opening banter one of the two moderators mentioned there are 940 some billionaires in the world.”

The number of billionaires aside, I really wonder who he could listen to the opening speech that will only be delivered tomorrow.. ’cause if he can really see the future, he holds the key to become the 941st billionaire. smile_wink

Update (5/18):  I was wrong …and right.  The official TiEcon program indeed starts today, but there was a pre-event reception and panel yesterday, which I am told I was invited to…the invitation never arrived though, and there is no trace of the event on the TiEcon site. But that’s sad news for Bill: he does NOT see the future after all … so he might need an alternative path to becoming the 941st billionaire.

On a more serious note, TiEcon labels itself the “World’s Largest Convention for Entrepreneurs” – about 3 times the crowd we’ve seen at Software 2007 will spend the next two days attending  keynotes, panel discussions, and the Entrepreneurs Bazaar at the Santa Clara Convention Center.  Although online registration has closed, it’s still possible to sign up on site, tomorrow morning – unlike most “posh” conferences, this one is affordable in the $200 range (No, I have not missed a zero…and they will still feed ussmile_tongue)

 See you there! (?)
