The International Congress 'Powerful Ideas Summit' will take place at Valencia Polytechnic University next 24 to 26 of January 2007. The meeting will see talks by experts with a variety of backgrounds, such as investment companies (Ariadne Capital), entrepeneurs (Terrafugia, Brainstorm, MIT MediaLab), business schools (MIT Sloan School of Managment), and technology centers (MIT MediaLab). I would like very much to meet the people behind Terrafugia Inc. (may I call them propellers of the idea?), which have a business idea for a road-able aircraft that will be able to land at the airport and drive on the road to home just like a car (watch the animation in their web!).
I have now more information about the talks in this conference.
Paul Osterman, Deputy Dean of the MIT SLOAN School of Management;
Michail Bletsas, Chief Connectivity Officer of the $100 Laptop Project;
Carl Dietrich, $30.000 Lemelson-MIT Student Prize for Inventiveness 2006. He has proposed the 'Personal Air Vehicle Concept';
John Perry Barlow, co-founder of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, fellow of the Berkman Center for Internet Society of Harvard University and author of "The economy of ideas";
James Patten, postdoctoral associate MIT MediaLab and CEO Patten Studio LLC de Boston, creator of the Audiopad at MIT MediaLab;
