Michel:

Change is in the air. The past year demonstrated the promise and the peril
of our densely connected world. Old policies and practices break down when
individuals self-organize into movements, data flows openly across
boundaries, consumers become creators, and shocks cascade through the
system. In business as in politics, new strategies are essential.

Come to Supernova 2009 <http://www.supernova2009.com>, December 1-3 in San
Francisco, CA, to become an agent of change, rather than a victim of it.

A Time of Transition

Over the past few months, I was fortunate to see the process of change
first-hand, as a member of the Obama Administration's Presidential
Transition Team.  We're holding Supernova later this year because of the
time I was in Washington DC.  The experience reinforced my conviction that
governments, businesses, and individuals are having the same conversations.
We have a lot to learn from one another!  I'm excited to spark some of those
discussions at Supernova.

Supernova 2009 Theme: Change Networks

For several years, Supernova has examined what we call the New Network:
universal interconnectedness at the physical, software, and social level.
Networks are central instruments of the changes sweeping our world.  At the
same time, networks themselves must change.

To succeed in this challenging environment, we need new infrastructure, new
business models, new government policies, new industries, and new approaches
that take advantage of the new network.  And we can't understand these
changes from a single vantage point.  Insights come from appreciating the
interplay of economic, technical, social, and political forces that define
our era.

*Embracing the Network Age
*

Last year, Supernova changed its format to embrace the network model.
Supernova 2009 will continue that reinvention, with open
forums<http://www.supernova2009.com/go/openflow>and Challenge

Taking Open Data Seriously · Cloud Computing: Perfect Storm or Silver
Lining? · Government's New Deal for the Tech Sector · Clash of the Platforms

Enterprise · Media: The Worst Of Times, the Best Of Times · Managing Amid
