At Supernova 2008, Wharton Professor Andrea Matwyshyn leads a discussion featuring Bruce Schneier (BT Counterpane), Fran Maier (TrustE), and Gerard Lewis (Comcast).

Cyberspace may be virtual, but it has significant impacts on the physical world. All those computers and devices and networks consume huge amounts of energy. On the other hand, changes in how people live and work in the Network Age could produce significant environmental benefits. This session will examine how the new infrastructure of the connected world can become a solution rather than a problem for environmental sustainability.
Moderator Christina Page (Yahoo!) leads a conversation featring Chris Lloyd (Verizon), Paul Nagel (Control4), Bill St. Arnaud (CANARIE), Brendan Herron (Current Group), and Ivan O’Neill (Southern California Edison).

As established governing bodies of various sorts attempt to impose rules and restrictions on the Internet, the Net continues to have its own “constitutional moments,” including many that are bottom up. The Berkman Center’s recently launched Publius Project (http://publius.cc) is an effort to understand how the Internet is actually being governed, and how that might be changing.
In this session at Supernova 2008, Berkman Center executive director Colin Maclay leads a conversation featuring Joichi Ito (Neoteny), Lili Cheng (Microsoft), Susan Crawford (Univ. of Michigan), and Wendy Seltzer (Berkman Center) about how decision-making processes give rise to norms, rules, and “constitutional moments” that affect both our behavior online and ultimately define the nature of the Net.

When it comes to marketing innovation, what’s the holdup? Practitioners from leading brands will tell us why it’s been difficult to realize the promise of new digital and social media technologies. With silos forming in the tech community and creative industry, we’ve left it to the brands to figure out how to bring it all together. We’ll explore: Where is the money, and what is really driving innovation? Can you determine the ROI of a relationship? And, how do brands restructure to move forward?
In this session at Supernova 2008, Howard Greenstein (Harbrooke Group) leads a discussion featuring Kiumarse Zamanian (Glam Media), Deborah Schultz (Social Web Strategist and Social Media Advisor to P&G), Hugh MacLeod (GapingVoid), Kerry Chrapliwy (HP), Garrick Schmitt (Avenue A | Razorfish).

For all the success of the current wave of online services, a handful of advertising models produce virtually all the revenue. How do things evolve as software merges with Web-based services, and the Net becomes more open, more participatory, and more complex? Will the largest portals and social networks absorb most of the value, or will more-focused players be able to thrive? Will advertising remain the dominant monetization strategy, and if so, how big can the pie grow?
Stephan Zimmermann (McKinsey) leads a discussion featuring Doug Mack (Adobe), Craig Sherman (Gaia Online), and David Kidder (Clickable) about what it takes to monetize successfully in the current environment, and what may change in the future.
