Off to Fortune Brainstorm 2006 - I'll be Blogging It...

I'm off today to Aspen for the Fortune Brainstorm 2006 conference. It is an invite only conference with about 300 attendees from June 28-30. I'm especially excited to have the opportunity to meet and talk to Michael Eisner, John McCain, Shimon Perez, Sandra Day O'Conner, Madeleine Albright, Lance Armstrong, Mark Cuban, Pierre Omidyar, Arianna Huffington, Queen Noor of Jordan, and Glenn Close. These people need no introduction. That noted, I'm also excited about meeting some of the people who might not be immediately recognizable by most but I certainly recognize including...

Alan Blinder (Vice chair of Federal Reserve), Larry Brilliant (head of Google.org), Chris DeWolfe (MySpace), John Doerr (only the father of Venture Capital), Esther Dyson (Cnet), John Fisher and Steve Jurvetson (from Draper Fisher Jurvetson), David Gergen (from Kennedy School of Government at Harvard), Bill Owens (Governor of Colorado), Marissa Mayer (VP oef Search Products, Google) Stelios Haji-Ioannou (easyGroup), C.K Prahalad (Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid), Danny Shader (Good Technology), Peter Diamiandis (Xprize), Antonio Saca (President of El Salvidor), Andy Stern (the guy taking on Wal-mart that is trying to get universal health coverage in the U.S. by creating pressure from the judiciary system), David Sze and Aneel Bhusri (Greylock), Mitchell Caplan (E*trade), Dick Costolo (Feedburner), Scott Heigerman (Meetup), Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn), and Subrah Iyar (WebEx).

The A Game is now on. Should be a blast. I'll be blogging.
