make your net work - Join me at MeshForum 2006

As we lead up to MeshForum, I find myself talking, emailing and chatting with lots of people, explaining to each of them why they should join me at MeshForum 2006. I talk about the great speakers, the lunch workshops, the Tuesday Open Space, the experiment in conference format to make a conference that is highly interactive, focused, but also extremely diverse, on the record and open to contributions across disciplines, industries and backgrounds.

But that is all too wordy.

My good friend Jerry Michalski in response to one such explanation I was sharing with him this evening suggested a far better explanation of why you should attend MeshForum, and what you will experience once here.

make your net work

In four short words it captures what MeshForum 2006 will be about.

It is about the tools needed to make your net work - visualizations, visual thinking, analysis techniques.

It is about what you have to think about to make your net work - the issues of scaling, what happens as things change, the impact of technologies.

It is about the power of a net - to create beauty, to entertain us

Join me and see what will make your net work
