"I always read your essays and follow your events vicariously and find them very stimulating. Today's essay on China ["SNS: Economic Cyberwar: The New Security Mandate"] really nailed it. I'm fascinated by your interests, opinions, and writings. I'll always follow what you're up to." Brent Schlender, writer and former Fortune editor-at-large.

This year's theme for the Future in Review (FiRe) Conference (www.futureinreview.com) is "Technology Driving Global Economics."
It's going to be another amazing event, at another fantastic location the Montage Laguna Beach:
Here is the current agenda (subject to change): www.futureinreview.com/agenda.php.
Opening evening will feature a conversation between myself and Richard Marshall, Director of Global Cyber Security Management, Department of Homeland Security, on the subject of "Economic Cyberwar."
New FiRe speakers include past Chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Richard Myers, Ira Kalish and John Hagel of Deloitte, and Greg McRae of Morgan Stanley. We are in the process of adding several new panels, and you can expect to see another dozen or more new speakers over the next week or two.
Ford CTO Paul Mascarenas will be with us to talk about the Ford Co.'s leadership drive in telematics, in-dash content and communications, SYNC and its related technologies, and what we are calling the Revolution in Car Computing.
Of course, our Global Energy Partner Tesla Motors and its team will be there as well, with the new all-electric sedan (haven't seen that one yet, eh?); fast, silent cars to drive; and a new 17-inch hi-res dash screen that you'll drool over.
Both our headcount and our sponsorships are ahead of last year, and, one should add, Yes, we're having fun. Seats are again limited, so sign up soon: www.futureinreview.com.

New Program: "Rising Stars" at FiRe 2011 Bring Your Young Company Stars with You to FiRe
SNS MEMBERS: In last year's post-conference survey, many of you indicated a desire to see younger talent joining us. Today, in a brand-new FiRe 2011 *Rising Stars* program, we are inviting senior company members who are paid attendees for FiRe 2011 to register, as their guests, up to 2 young stars from their company, at a strong discount. Your Rising Star guests will have the unique opportunity to experience the power of FiRe, along with up to 200 C-level executives in world technology, finance, telecommunications, government, and more, covered by the highest level of domestic and global press.
Space is limited for this new program, so registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Qualifying Rising Stars employees of your company who are age 35 or under and are not yet registered for the FiRe conference will receive a discounted registration fee of $2,900. (That's $2,000 below the normal rate.) Please register your Rising Stars by contacting Lauren at lauren@stratnews.com or 617-733-5686.
We look forward to seeing you and your Rising Stars in May.

The most shocking technical failure in United States economic history came directly from its greatest achievement: successfully landing a manned rocket on the moon. No one alive in 1969 would have believed that we would, after a few more visits, not go back again. |
