Hi --

Great event! See you all there. Note there is an open, non-commercial prediction markets consortium and google discussion group. See:

and

Cheers,

Unfortunately I can't be there myself but we're sending emissaries - I blogged one of the PM events in Chicago last June that featured a few of the speakers:

Sounds awesome. Robin Hanson rules.

A room called "Classroom 5" doesn't sound big enough if word gets around about this meeting. Does my having signed up here mean that I will definitely get in?

Kudos to Yahoo for hosting this event.

i'm expecting this will be recorded and put up on yahoo video / jumpcut / something?
Posted 2 years ago
Classroom 5 is fairly big. It's the largest room we have on campus. It might get crowded, but I think we'll be fine. Showing up early certainly helps.

And yes, we'll put this up on Yahoo! Video afterwards

I see the link to the webcast, but it is safe to assume this is not set up for web conference (e.g. taking questions from web audience)?
Posted 2 years ago
Right, no questions from the webcast audience - this is just for watching the action. We don't want to complicate things too much.

Nothing happens when I click the links to watch either webcast. I had to threadjack - but help. I have Winamp 5.32 installed.

Right, so my computer is eccentric. For anyone experiencing the same problem, I opened one of the webcast URLs with Windows Media Player, and that worked.
