Bostonist woke up a little late for Cyberposium 15 yesterday, but still managed to attend a number of informative sessions about “Navigating the Digital Storm.” This year’s theme, inspired by the escalating (but potentially halted) economic crisis, was designed to explore ways for technology companies to get through this tough time. Cyberposium is organized entirely by Harvard Business School students, and while their presence was strong at the conference, some normal folk (though many of them HBS alumni or MIT Sloan students) made their way in as well. Not many women were among the presenters—we saw absolutely none on the panels we attended, and there were only a handful involved in the conference overall.

Diversity was also lacking in panels but more prevalent in the audience, suggesting a more varied future for technology. more ›
