Vertical LEAP: D-17

Quick update regarding Vertical LEAP:

• We have updated the web site with the roster of speakers  lined up for the event. We are delighted to have this mix of startups and representatives of the "Big Three". Note that there are still a couple of slots still being confirmed, but the bulk of the sessions are now "frozen".
• We have created a Wiki that provides the same information, as well as the ability to list your questions or topics of interests. So if you plan to attend, or are interested in submitting a contribution, register on the wiki (we want to know who says what) and tell us!
• We will also be posting updates on the conference blog.
• Also, if you plan to blog the conference, do add your blog to this list.
• Advanced podcasting warning: the sessions will be recorded and made available on IT Conversations. And John Furrier will be doing some ad-hoc interviews, posted on PodTech.net.

A word to all the fellows having reached out to Dave or myself to offer their participation to one of the panels: thanks, we are very grateful for your interest, and would suggest that you join us as attendees. This one-day conference is just the beginning of what we hope to be a regular meeting of people and companies involved in the search ecosystem.

Any suggestion/question: leave us a comment here or on the wiki.

And thanks to Ross Mayfield and Socialtext for supporting Vertical LEAP by comp'ing the wiki.

Oh, and if you want to help us spreading the word about the conference, and get a great turn out of attendeeds, blog away!
