I've presented in the P-Camp event yesterday and was asked to share my slides.
So, here they are:
The DEMO event is a great opportunity to learn about new companies and to experience new technologies and solutions.
As I did not go to DEMO, the playback of some of the demos is all I can share...
Enjoy.

I am presenting in the upcoming “Whose Cloud Is It Anyway?" event.
I will demo Veodia’s services and solutions and will talk about what is unique about the way Veodia is using the ‘Cloud’.
I hope you see you!
Next week (6:00 PM - 8:30 PM October 14, 2008) I plan to attend the SDForum to discuss mobile media.
This panel will focus on mobile and technology trends and what do these trends mean for media, how media companies are going mobile and what the next generation of devices and
content will look and feel like. What are the devices of the future?
What content will people expect to have and what will they use? What
new technologies and services are coming our way? Who cares and who's
investing now for the future?
I was following the Web 2.0 Expo (NY) and came across Gary Vaynerchuk's (Wine Library) key note. He talked about "Building Personal Brand Within the Social Media Landscape".
Few notes:
For the last 3 years, Office 2.0 has been a great opportunity for me to meet smart people, to learn about new technologies, and to experience new ways of getting business done.
I always look for the ‘human touch’ that's associated with this event.
This year, communication has reached a new level.
We are using a wiki to communicate and exchange ideas, and now we can make it even more personal — using video notes.
Veodia is again a proud sponsor, not only enabling the event with video recording of each session, but also allowing every participant to record his or her own videos — making Office 2.0 communication even more personal.
I am looking forward meeting you and having great conversations with you.

We had a great time at the Enterprise 2.0 conference in Boston.
This year, most of the energy was focused on 'how to' enable companies with 2.0 methodologies and capabilities and not just 'what is E2.0?'.
Many great vendors and a lot of the big players were presenting applications and services.
We were happy to have the opportunity to present as part of the launch pad, together with GroupSwim, NewsGator, Project SocialSite (SUN) and Spaceo.us.
The demo went very well. We streamed live video from the session as well as demoed or plug-in for Jive Clearspace.
Many thanks to the Veodia team in San Mateo for their support !! and to Tom and Guillaume for a great team work!!
Thanks to the audience - we received 39% of the votes and won!

The finalists:
Veodia -- 'live streaming video that puts your work in motion'

Groupswim -- 'On-demand Social Collaboration and Community for Your Business'
Spaceo.us -- 'Bringing the REAL Enterprise 2.0 to your business' (they need a better tagline, I think).

"...So, this was a contest, consisting of brief (three minute) elevator stories presenting their products by five of this week's vendors. The winner was to be voted on by the audience ("crowdware") using cell phone texting. The first four presenters did high-speed runthroughs of their highlight PowerPoint presentations. The last one, Veodia, a provider of high definition video as a service, featured live video of the event and the audience, very high definition. By far the coolest, and the audience agreed, voting them the winner with 39% of the overall vote, a 2:1 margin over the next highest score. An exhilarating way to end the morning..."

Additional notes from the Under the Radar event - Graduate Circle track.
(not so much in my domain - so raw comments as is)
"...(comment: I worked hard in the past making SDN mean something else).

Additional notes from the Under the Radar event - Aggregation track.
Today I am at the Under the Radar event.
Some comments from the first session.
The California Israel Chamber of Commerce has just announced the return of their highly successful IsraelWebTour competition and roadshow. Current returning sponsors include Google, Yahoo and Adobe.
The Tour will kick off on February 4th, 2008 when fifteen chosen CEOs from Israel’s most exciting startups will arrive in Silicon Valley for a week of activities. The companies will meet with investors, strategic partners, customers, entrepreneurs and industry leaders in a mix of private one-on-one meetings, roundtable discussions and ad-hoc networking events .
The highlight of the week will be a public showcase on Wednesday, February 5th where each start-up will present their business to the industry and press . The Tour will end with a closing night party in San Francisco on Thursday February 7th.
The CICC is now soliciting applications for participating companies and sponsors. If you want to participate in this year’s IsraelWebTour, submit an application to CICC by Monday, December 3rd at 5:00 PM PST. Conference organizers & Steering Committee will select 15 companies to participate in the tour.
Highlights From Last Year’s Israel Web Tour:
- A series of private tours and meetings at Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Adobe, Ebay
- A week of panels and roundtable sessions were held with the following industry leaders:
On Saturday I attended the SCEA 2007 Annual Meeting and participated in the panel discussion on "Web Trend: Today and Tomorrow". The panelists were:
Notes from Momentum Growth Conference.
Buy, Sell, Hold? - Yes, You Have Mo' to Think About
You've grown your company. You're making money. What's next? IPO, acquisition, or just keep walking. In this session, hear about the exit strategies that momentum companies have to think about, and plan for, today.
TSX - Ungad Chadda, Vice-President and COO
Thumbplay - Are Traasdahl, CEO & Founder
Microsoft - Marc Brown, Director of Corporate Development
IMVU - Eric Ries, CTO
(no links, sorry, Blogger really needs to improve linking and adding image capabilities...)
The panel agreed the focus should be on building a real business.
They disagree on what does it mean...
Nice quote: "companies do not fail due to lack of technology - they fail due to lack of customers..."
Building a dream-team is the key step in building a real business.
First hires for technical or product driven companies - should be in the marketing area - as you need to generate lead and to make the market ready for your branding and product.
(???)
Executive team of a start up changes with the phases of the company.
The role of the executives changes as well.
The transition from 'traffic' or # of users to monetization is not trivial (duh...).
Partnership with a market leader or a company the complete your value offering is a logic step.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Done.
It was a long & good fun day...
