I’m here this morning, a few blocks from my place, at the Palace Hotel in SF for the Supernova2006 conference, hosted annually by Kevin Werbach. This year’s theme is “making connections in a complex world.” The conference started yesterday with workshops at Wharton West, and continues today and tomorrow with panels here at the Palace.
“I put together the first Supernova conference three years ago because, to paraphrase Bob Dylan, we all knew something was happening here, but we didn’t know what it was. My conviction was that underneath all the changes - business becoming increasingly distributed, users becoming more knowledgeable, old industry models collapsing, and everything and everybody becoming networked - is one fundamental phenomenon: decentralization.
At Supernova, we bring together business, government, and technology thought leaders to understand how decentralization and pervasive connectivity are changing our world.”
You can follow the conference virtually through many streams. There’s a live audio stream of the entire conference, excellent blogging and notes on the Supernova blog, as well as the Media Center, which will provide both a blogcast by David Weinberger, videoblogging onsite with a kiosk providing by VideoEgg, and, later this evening is the Connected Innovator’s showcase. Live video of the Connected Innovators presentations will be streamed into the Supernova Lounge in Second Life. Second Life residents can interact and view information on Supernova, TechCrunch, Yahoo!, and the Connected Innovators on a special heads-up display created by Electric Sheep Co. The Supernova Lounge will be accessible within Second Life in a special Supernova sim, open for the duration of the conference. If you have a Second Life account, use SLURL http://tinyurl.com/m42t8 with the Second Life client.
Disclosure: my company, Ideacodes, helped redevelop the Supernova site.

I love the quote: decentralization is what’s happening here. Absolutely, and I can’t help but hope that the productivity gains via flexibal business structures will outweigh the overhead imposed by increasing governemnt regulation of industry (in the name of “security”, too often).
