Last Minute Announcements: Orange Spotlight and /Aviso

There is just too much going down these days (and I am not just referring to the stock market). A few last minute announcements:

This afternoon, I am collaborating with Mark Plakias and Pascale Diaine in an Orange Spotlight event at Plug & Play in Sunnyvale:

[from Orange Spotlight: Collective Action at Plug & Play (Tuesday September 30, 2008) - Upcoming]

Tuesday September 30, 2008 from 3:30pm - 7:00pm

Sunnyvale, CA, California 94085

On September 30th, 2008 , join us for an Orange Spotlight event.

PlugandPlayTechcenter and Orange Labs invite you to be part of a discussion about "Collective Action". We'll explore the power of the digital crowd, including the emergence of customer collaborations today and tomorrow.
Let's take our cue from Orange's tagline -- "Together we can do more" -- and explore using the Spotlight format, blending startup presentations with comments from a selection of experts as part of the audience. Stowe Boyd, the social web applications master will be our moderator. The discussions will keep going after the presentations around a glass of wine during an after cocktail party.
