Beautful new resourt, with all that one needs to spend great vacation.<\/p>\n<p>This time, though, it was work. And what a work!<\/p>\n<p>The PC Forum is by far the best IT-related meeting I&#8217;ve been. And I&#8217;ve been to many. Unlike the usual such meetings, this one focuses more on social networking, but at the same time the speakers and panelsts talk to our wonderful host &#8211; Esther Dyson &#8211; on topics which vary from health care to cybersecurity. Even the stage is unusual &#8211; almost no slides, a sofa and two comfortable arm chairs, where people sit and talk to Esther and to the audience in a very friendly manner.<\/p>\n<p>I can write more, but there are so many articles, that my contribution may be useless. Here&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=PC+forum+2006+esther+dyson&#038;sourceid=mozilla-search&#038;start=0&#038;start=0&#038;ie=utf-8&#038;oe=utf-8\">link to some of them<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Again &#8211; great place to be, and I am happy that Bulgaria was represnted this year, and made a good impression.<\/p>\n<p>Last, but not least &#8211; great organization. Esther and her colleagues are quite impressive in handling 400+ participants, and making sure we start on time, end on time, and have a full hall of all people as early as 8 in the morning (again, something I haven&#8217;t seen anywhere else until this event).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are a chief executive, a visionary, or a decision-maker, and have not been at the PC Forum, you must consider going.
