The conference provides a great opportunity to forge new relationships and meet new potential business partners and fellow founders.

While the Vision to Reality conference closes for another year, that doesn’t mean you can’t continue connecting with other attendees in person or on Twitter with #v2r. Use our app to track down anyone you weren’t able to meet or follow them on Twitter.
The fun will begin again in November when we present the winners of the Innovator of the Year award and Top 10 up-and-coming technology companies’ award. To enter and learn about last year’s winners, visit www.pwc.com

When you want to be creative, identifying the constraints that you're working with is the fundamental act.
It's not about listening to jazz and going to the beach (although that might help you)! -

Design is the successive application of constraints until only a unique product is left.

"Creativity and innovation come from mastery over what's possible. Mastering the possible comes from an understanding of constraints." #v2rby lilyleung via twitter 4/18/2013 9:35:21 PM

Q from the audience:Liberal arts degree in philosophy - how did you get into something so technologically advanced? And how does your background shape your outlook?Butterfield:I have a friend and coworker and I left Flickr in her hands, despite the fact that she had an MBA. That's my bias, the best technologists thatI've worked with have a degree in ENglish lit. To be honest, I don't think it matters. If you get a B Comm, you're doing yourself a disservice. I try to be conscious of what I'm doing and why.

Q: If we're in the relationship computing phase, where will we go next?Butterfield (paraphrase):I have no idea. What else is there but human interaction, whether it's communicating directly or reading a book written by somebody else...
-
Q: What do you like online now? What would you like to see in the future?Butterfield (paraphrase):I like that people get their stories out, one way or another. Whether it's blogs, etc. I'd like to think that the increase of communication, we'll witness more transparency, peace and openness.
