What's an Unconference all about? Billion dollar ideas for the next decade « Searching for the Moo. Posted by shannonclark on April 23, 2010 What will be the next set of Billion dollar industries? In the past week one of the biggest angel investors in technology, Ron Conway, announced that he has closed a new venture fund and he spoke to TechCrunch about what he sees as the opportunities for the next few years, the opportunities he will be investing in with his new fund.

He identified three “megatrends” – the real-time data, the social web and flash marketing. I agree with Ron that these are big trends and that there are many companies already pursuing them but still many opportunities in these areas for new companies to be created and to succeed. However I think there are a number of other very large opportunities which will be huge in the next decade, opportunities which will transform not just entire industries but how we (and by we I mean people around the globe) live.

I’m sure there are other, very large opportunities, but here are a few which I have identified. Like this: iPhone app Enterprise deployment. Modu - make new connections.

The remaining members of the audience stand at the center of the room. The facilitator rings a bell to start proceedings. Advantages[edit] Speed geeking is a great way to quickly view a number of presentations and demos in a short while. Disadvantages[edit] Each presenter has to give their presentation multiple times.
