Two new speakers for Business of Software Conference (28-30th October 2013) and a reminder that the EARLY BIRD rate of $1,695 closes in 24 hours time.
Scott Berkun will share his experiences working at WordPress.com, one of the top 20 websites in the world (by traffic), one of the world’s most distributed companies – there is no office. He’ll share his thoughts on what every organisation can learn from a company that holds no meetings and doesn’t ‘do’ email.
Jeff Gothelf is Managing Director of Neo, a global product innovation company that includes Eric Ries and Joi Ito on the team, with a focus on delivering mobile and web software and helping educate companies to build better software teams.
