Comments on: Reflections on EpCon 2010 http://blog.markdittmer.org/2010/01/17/reflections-on-epcon-2010/ A mature expression of freedom follows the discernment between desire and need. It follows then that liberty must follow education, not the other way around.

(I skimmed it and will digest your thoughts again after finishing my school assignments). What is "SMECon"? I would still likely argue it's unfair to name the conference, "SMECon, Social Media & Entrepreneurship". We had a couple of Nanotechnology sessions which I don't think you had attended (neither did I :P, but I heard some good feedback). There was also a Cisco presentation on technology impact on Health Care (I didn't attend either, but also heard some good feedback :P). It seems I have the same bias as you for the breakout selections :) Currently, social media and entrepreneurship is receiving a lot of hype. The keynotes were entrepreneurship-like, I suppose, but wouldn't you say that all the great speakers are entrepreneurial?! XD (And indeed, I felt all of our keynotes were EPIC entrepreneurial speakers). Tech start-ups are making interesting news these days and is a very appealing topic to tech students. Were you able to make it to the Cloud Computing panel? That had some great questions and discussions! I wasn't in the Gaming panel one but I would imagine the discussion being heated there too. If you have any suggestions for tech topics, we would love to hear them once I get the web feedback form up (working on that...) :) Cheers, Pek Hi Mark,

What is “SMECon”?

I would still likely argue it’s unfair to name the conference, “SMECon, Social Media & Entrepreneurship”.

We had a couple of Nanotechnology sessions which I don’t think you had attended (neither did I :P , but I heard some good feedback). There was also a Cisco presentation on technology impact on Health Care (I didn’t attend either, but also heard some good feedback :P ). It seems I have the same bias as you for the breakout selections :)
