CORPORATE CUSTOMERS SPEAK OUT
For every innovation, there has to be a customer. But not all customers are ready for every New Big Thing.

Our panel of experienced CIOs and CTOs tells some home truths about tech innovation from the customer's standpoint.

Moderator: Paul Barth, NewVantage Partners

Panelists: Maureen Chew, CIO, Department of Education, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
                   Douglas Emond, CTO, Eastern Bank

WHERE TECHNOLOGY, MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT COME TOGETHER
TiVo allowed us to control time, letting us view our favorite TV shows whenever we want. Audible.com lets us download songs and e-books to our iPods and take them on vacation or on the commuter train. Videogaming continues to push both the hardware and software frontiers. And someday soon, there'll be interactive TV in our living rooms. If you want a glimpse of how fast and how far technology is altering our lives, look no further than the media and entertainment industry. In this lively panel, some of the sector's most dynamic leaders say how they keep the ideas percolating, the competitive juices flowing – and the funding packages ready.

Moderator: Todd Dagres, Spark Capital

Panelists: Ron Chaimowitz, CEO, PixelPlay

Lucky or Smart?: Secrets to an Entrepreneurial Life
Bo Peabody was an Internet multimillionaire by age 27 – and so were many other twentysomethings. But how many others went on to found another four successful businesses across a wide range of industry sectors? Peabody 's most recent firm: Village Ventures, a network of 14 venture funds in less-than-mainstream tech centers around the U.S. If there's one person who can say where tech is going and how smart equity firms make themselves part of the new direction, it's Bo Peabody. Don't miss his wry and insightful perspectives on both sides of the entrepreneurial equation, and every Conference attendee will receive a copy of his book, Lucky or Smart: Secrets to an Entrepreneurial Life.
