5th Annual InnoTech Oregon Event Shaping Up to be a Winner
Yes, I know, it's been a long time since I've posted to this blog...but maybe when you check out everything that's happening at the 5th annual InnoTech Oregon event, you'll forgive me for not making the time to blog too.
For starters, with the incredible support of SAO and Portland State University, InnoTech will be hosting featured speaker Don Tapscott, Chief Executive, New Paradigm & Author, WIKINOMICS: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything. Although InnoTech has always had excellent conference content, adding an internationally sought-after speaker to the agenda takes the event to a new level, which is a perfect way to celebrate InnoTech's 5th year.
For the past several months, I've been working closely with nPOWER and TACS on the 2nd Annual Non-Profit Tech Summit @ InnoTech in addition to coordinating with the Open Source community on what's hot right now in their world. I've also been collaborating with the AMA and others on the eMarketing Summit @ InnoTech, which has two full days of online marketing presentations and panel discussions. The NW CIO Summit (formerly called the Oregon CIO Summit) already has registrants from Idaho, Washington and across Oregon, which makes me glad we updated the name!
Of course, lots of time is spent working with sponsors, exhibitors and presenters on creating the most hands-on, interactive demonstrations for the exhibits @ InnoTech.
So there you have it...not so much a list of excuses for not blogging but more of an ever-growing list of cool happenings at this year's InnoTech event. See you there on April 16-17, 2008!

Keynote
Howard Charney delivered a great opening to the world of technology through the power of innovation. Charney was a great way to open the event, paving the way to see and hear from some of the greatest innovations, products and services, that the Pacific Northwest and beyond has to offer.
Charney's speech touched on the relevant aspects of history and how the industrial revolution provided the "big bang" the world needed to increase productivity - now years later, there are inventions the world never thought would come to fruition. The power of technology, this is just the beginning, according to Howard Charney.
Charney says this phase of technology has just began and will power our lives - busness, home and play for 20-30 years to come.
A truly enspiring way to open the big show.
