Davos: Tech Pioneers Gathering

I spent the afternoon in a "closed" meeting of the Tech Pioneers. Unlike the previous sessions I've attended, this one was a workshop, and my group spent nearly two hours talking about "Crossing the Chasm" by the subject-master on the topic, Geoff Moore. It was a great opportunity to learn about the businesses (and challenges) of the other Technology Pioneers.

Its nighttime here. Time to start running the gauntlet of dinner functions and parties. Somehow I was invited to the "Global Climate Change" nightcap which starts at 11:30pm. According to the invitation it is being hosted by Vinod Khosla, Gavin Newsom, Claudia Shiffer and Al Gore. The first three I know are here. I dont' know if Gore is actually here, but after seeing his movie recently, my desire to meet him has gone up considerably.
