Blogging at Fortune Brainstorm Tech
Posted: July 23rd, 2010 | Author: Laura Rich | Filed under: Web/Tech | No Comments »
I’m in Aspen for a few days attending the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference and blogging about it over on Fortune.com. It’s no wonder the three-way punch of Aspen, Fortune and the Aspen Institute is a big draw for some big names. It’s beautiful here, Fortune is ground zero for business analysis, and the Aspen Institute is full of smarties.
Yesterday, covered Activision’s Bobby Kotick and Oracle’s Chuck Phillips, who apparently makes few appearances. I see why: he broke me some news yesterday about the doubling of Oracle’s acquisition budget in the next five years.
Today and tomorrow, more posts on Fortune.com on AT&T CEO Ralph de la Vega, Google guy Nikesh Arora, Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha, and a whole bunch of other folks.
Bonus for me: A reunion of sorts as the Fortune staff on hand include great people I’ve worked with at Portfolio, CNN Money, The Industry Standard, Inc. and crossed paths with in the dot-com boom (and one of them in my book group, the Blank Slate, which I’ll write about in an upcoming post). Good stuff.
