Laneo attends the DLD Conference - 22 Jan 2008
There are a number of Digital-Media-Web-Social-Science-Lifestyle events around the world for example: TED, Le Web 3, Lift, Picnic, SIME to name a few and they all host a wide variety of fascinating speakers that address issues and future trends around the internet. What makes the DLD venue (short for Digital Life and Design) in Munich so compelling is that it is more than just bringing together people in the web industry. It creates an inspiring bridge between the key developments on the web and other important inclinations in lifestyle (physics, art, architecture, genetic programs, health and of course media) spun together with an eclectic crowd coming from all areas of the planet. Laneo had the privilege to be invited to DLD08 this year (thanks Rupert). We attend a few of these basically because they’re the only social-business network where almost everyone completely understands what we’re doing and how we’ve set out to achieve it but also spontaneously offers a vast and rich array of suggestions and support that continue to fuel our growth. Rubbing shoulders with the hottest internet ventures in the world is inspiring but more importantly, it was while talking with these entrepreneurs that made for some passionate conversations – in a world made up of increasing “virtual endeavors” – Laneo (I’m proud to say), stopped the majority of my counterparts in their tracks and got them thinking about “reality”.
