Nantucket Conference  Annotated

    The Nantucket Conference
    convenes a small, invitation-only group of New England’s
    most creative and forward-thinking entrepreneurs,
    investors, technologists, and executives. There are
    several reasons why this region's high-level high-tech
    players consider the Nantucket Conference a must-attend
    gathering.


    First, there are unique
    opportunities for exchanging ideas and networking in a
    relaxing, informal environment. We acknowledge that much
    of the value of the Nantucket Conference comes from
    impromptu hallway conversations, serendipitous seatings at
    lunch, and walks around town. Nantucket is a place for
    having fun, doing business, and making new connections.

    Second, sessions on
    Nantucket elicit the kind of real-world war stories and
    insight that you don’t hear at any other conference. All
    proceedings of the Conference are off-the-record, which
    gives presenters a chance to talk openly and honestly. We
    limit the use of PowerPoint and forbid blatant company
    pitches. Also, since there is precisely no difference in
    the caliber of people on stage and those in the audience,
    there is always plenty of opportunity at each session for
    interaction and debate.

    Finally, this isn’t an
    event produced by a conference company that churns out
    dozens of cookie-cutter events each year. Nantucket is
    organized by a group of people -- our Advisory
    Board
    -- who actually work in the technology space
    every day.
