DIG Conference - Las Vegas
by Jevon MacDonald
Thomas Vander Wal and I flew in to Las Vegas on Tuesday to do an afternoon workshop on Enterprise 2.0. It was a lot of fun to work with Thomas, who I think is possibly the top thinker in building and designing social tools. It was an honor to work with him. We tried to offer something for everyone, covering everything from tool design to case studies and strategy examples.
Today is the third day of the conference and the theme of the day is Enterprise 2.0. The session I am looking forward to the most is Mat Fogarty talking about EA’s use of Xpree to build a prediction market.
This conference is not a typical Enterprise 2.0 conference. It isn’t crawling with vendors, it isn’t full of analysts and consultants. Far and away, the vast majority of people here are customers. Everything from farming cooperatives to telecoms, people seem to be here to learn what the real benefits for their organization might be. That is a refreshing change that I am thankful for.
