Come to ETech and discover how applications and hardware are being deconstructed and recombined in unexpected ways. Learn how accidental developers--users and customers--are influencing new interfaces, devices, business models, and services. Just a few of the intriguing people and projects at the conference include: - Law Professor Lawrence Lessig points the way to an open and remix-able future - Arthur van Hoff, Principal Engineer at TiVo, turns television into an operating system on which to build applications and to which the next level of video content can be delivered - Writer and technologist Cory Doctorow sees the Internet as an ecosystem, parasites and all - Analyst Clay Shirky espouses the value of semi-structured data in rescuing semantics from the Semantic Web - Noted programmer Joel Spolsky infuses character and quality into online communities through software and design choices - Flickr founder Stewart Butterfield opens up, embracing web services and network effects as a startup strategy - Hardware hackers Tom Igoe and Raffi Krikorian build small, simple microcontroller-based network objects - Kathy Sierra brings the latest research in cognitive science, brain chemistry, and psychology to bear on creating passionate users A face-to-face gathering is still one of the best ways of making sure information is more evenly distributed. At ETech, you can learn from the experiences of other attendees, from the projects and prognostications of speakers, and from the products the exhibitors are actually shipping.
