Posted by Jack
October 10th – 11th in Downtown Providence, the Business Innovation Factory is holding its third annual conference – the BIF-3 Collaborative Innovation Summit. They’ve really outdone themselves this year. Among the event’s amazing collection of “Storytellers,” there are some major Alpha Geeks, including:
- Walt Mossberg, Technology Editor, The Wall Street Journal, and co-founder of AllThingsD (BIF-3’s host!)
- Mark Cuban, billionaire serial tech entrepreneur
- Jason Fried, 37Signals CEO & Co-Founder
- Steven Johnson, Ghost Map author and co-creator of
outside.in - Richard Saul Wurman, information architecture pioneer & founder of the TED Conference
And that’s only a few of the folks! Here’s the generous offer from BIF:
In effort to make sure that Providence’s talented geeks can fully participate in the BIF-3 Summit on October 10-11, 2007, the Business Innovation Factory is offering five scholarships to the Summit that cuts the registration fee in half (from $1,000 to $500). This includes both days of programming, snacks and lunches, materials, and a reception with the storytellers.More at www.businessinnovationfactory

I went to BIF last year and really can’t recommend it enough.
