Colabria Showcases Knowledge Management with First Prediction Markets Summit
Colabria Showcases Knowledge Management with First Prediction Markets Summit: "olabria, KM Cluster, CommerceNet and NewsFutures announce the first Prediction Markets Summit, to be held December 2, 2005 in San Francisco. The Prediction Markets Summit will highlight the applications of knowledge management, an up-and-coming trend in business technology, for the knowledge and information markets.
'Prediction Markets are a proven, but under-exploited, way to harness the wisdom of crowds,' said Allan Schiffman, Executive Director of CommerceNet. 'The Prediction Markets Summit is a great opportunity to work with pioneers of the field and to share experience and knowledge with the growing prediction market community.'
Prediction Markets are a new and crucial discipline for all knowledge-based organizations. Because they are so effective, social networks, smart mobs, knowledge management, crowd wisdom and idea exchanges have been getting a lot of popular attention.
James Surowiecki, author of 'The Wisdom of Crowds' stated, 'Market predictions often outperform those of even the best-informed expert.'
Prediction Markets allows managers and executives optimize their businesses with new, knowledge-based forecasting techniques. Business Week named prediction markets as one of the top ten business technology trends for 2005 and among the ten new technologies that should be on the radar of every Chief Executive Officer.
The Harvard Business Review stated, 'By gathering collective wisdom, idea markets can improve your forecasting, knowledge management, and decision making.'
Top knowledge scientists, information market researchers, business school professors, commerce think-tanks and market tool providers are converging for the one-day Prediction Markets Summit at UCSF Mission Bay in San Francisco/Silicon Valley on December 2, 2005.
Sponsored by CommerceNet, NewsFutures, Colabria and KM Cluster, the Summit will feature such business leaders as Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Stanford Graduate Business School, HPLabs and others. Sessions for the one-day, conversational deep-dive of prediction, knowledge management and information markets are practical and conversational. The group conversations are not academic, theoretical, lectures or vendor sales hype. They advance understanding and the business applications of prediction markets. The cases studies and analysis are for executives, directors and practitioners having immediate, practical needs for improved performance, greater effectiveness, faster innovation, customer delight and satisfaction.
Registration for the Prediction Markets Summit is open and available now. The event tuition, including the full-day learning experience, meals, refreshments, materials, and registration, is $349.00. At this low cost, there are no press passes, student discounts or other mark-downs. For secure registration, visit https://www.kmcluster.com/sfo/PM/Reg_SFO_PM05.htm." ¶ 07:19
