SNS: SNS: The Absolute Power of 1:1 Media

We would like to welcome the employees of Deutsche Telekom as site-license members of the Strategic News Service. Perhaps every member of your corporate team should have SNS, too?

“I found the FiRe conference a delightful coming-together of highly motivated and accomplished people, with a strong interest in using their talents and resources for the social good.” – Dr. Lee Hartwell, Nobelist, Seattle; and two-time FiRe speaker.

SNS MEMBERS: This year’s theme for the Future in Review (FiRe) Conference is “Technology Driving Global Economics.”

You can learn more about FiRe 2011 at our site, www.futureinreview.com.

It’s going to be another amazing event, at another fantastic location – the Montage Laguna Beach:

Our 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.”

Since our first conversation on this subject at the New York Predictions Dinner in December, this has become perhaps the hottest topic in security. I am advising the Symantec board of directors this week on its market repercussions, and Accenture has hired us to create a half-day program on the same subject in London in July. And Bloomberg TV is asking for a prolonged interview segment on the same subject, which will be the third in a series.

I look forward to providing our participants with the latest information on how this will impact their countries and companies.

Here are some of the speakers and subjects arranged to date, with many more coming up in the next few weeks:

Although not yet publicized, I am very pleased to announce that we have added a fascinating, and scientific, discussion on monitoring and controlling personal health, a real-life story told by Calit2 Director Larry Smarr. Larry has shown this to a very few audiences, including at Stanford, Johnson & Johnson, and the Singularity Institute, and it is incredible.

We’ve also added the world’s expert on measuring the volume of polar ice (not just its area), and the world’s expert on carbon control strategies, which ought to give you a sense of where our CTO Design Challenge is headed this year. Is there something more important than planetary carbon control?

Ford’s CTO, Paul Mascarenas, will be with us to talk with us 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, and avoid the next price hike as well: www.futureinreview.com .

The Bright Side of 1:1

We are at a time when we’re about to move from a fascination with social networks to the question of how those networks will be used. Without any doubt, one of the answers will be to provide information of some kind to each and every SNS member.
