O'Reilly Network Articles and WeblogsOver on his blog, Infectious Greed, Money:Tech program chair Paul Kedrosky outlines the agenda, which he and Tim O'Reilly have been tinkering with recently. He begins with:
The conference is, of course, all about the confluence of Wall Street and Web 2.0. And what does that mean? Well, new ways of Web-2.0-style collaborating are changing money and investing, with the zero-sum game of Wall Street changing in the process. At the same time market mashups with new sources of web-based data -- auctions! real estate! pricing! weather! -- are transforming the never-ending hunt for a money-making edge.
The schedule has really filled in recently. Speaker additions include big thinkers like Nouriel Roubini from RGE Monitor, Cary Davis of Warburg Pincus, Jonathan Glick from Gerson Lehrman Group, and Renny Monaghan of Salesforce.com.
