The Yahoo Technology Development Group has announced a series of micro-conferences that open to the public, starting with one this Wednesday, December 13th, on Prediction Markets: Tapping the Wisdom of Crowds. (via Yodel Anecdotal)
Speakers include:
- Bo Cowgill from Google,
- Leslie Fine from HP,
- Todd Proebsting from Microsoft,
- Dave Pennock from Yahoo!
- Chris Hibbert, the developer of Zocalo,
- Adam Siegel, the co-founder of InklingMarkets.com, and;
- Robin Hanson.
In addition, David Pennock has started a blog on Predictive Markets – Oddhead Blog
This series of micro-conferences is a great idea. Wish I were a little closer. I’d be there.
Thanks. My link does go to the November archives for the site (only one post for November), so I figured that linking to the site itself wasn’t necessary.
It looks like it should be an excellent conference. I don’t expect any of it to be taped, and available through Yahoo video, but I’m really hoping that some of the presentations are.
You and me both buddy. By the way the official site is located at: http://confab.yahoo.com/. Though you might wanna include that in your post.
Thank you

I wish, John.
I do know someone who will be attending Wednesday, and hopefully will write a blog post about it. Be happy to hear your thoughts about it if you attend.
The Washington DC event in January sounds interesting. I may have to see if I can fit it into my schedule. Thanks.
