Microsoft shows off Surface
Tom Cruise

Could that be Microsoft wow-ing everyone with exciting new technology?
Move over Apple and Google, it seems the spotlight is on the boring spreadsheet
guys from Redmond. The exciting new technology is called “Microsoft Surface” and was showcased in concept in Minority Report with Tom Cruise. It now seems the technology is alive and living at Microsoft.
This is truly revolutionary technology and will take your computer desktop off your computer screen and put it on your actual desktop. One picture is worth a thousand words so use some Web 2.0 technology at YouTube to have a look.
ExecutiveBiz does Web 2.0 and this year we are including Government agencies in our annual day long event. Government seems to be adopting this new technology at a rate that will rival the adoption of private sector business. Click here for more information or register now at the early bird rate.

Green. It's on the cover of Fortune, Time, Newsweek, and many others this, along with being one of the hottest topics of 2007. The once called green movement has shed it’s “tree hugging” past and found center stage in both mainstream and corporate America as the climate crisis. With gas prices nearing $4/gal this summer and a predicted hurricane season like 2005, at the forefront of the American consciousness are real solutions to effect positive change for every business and individual.
ExecutiveBiz presents an expert panel discussion featuring Jonathan Lash, President of WRI, Jay Benforado, Director of the National Center for Environmental Innovation, and Philippe Cousteau, President & CEO of EarthEcho International. The discussion will explore the environmental movement from a business perspective. They will discuss changes in national and corporate environmental and energy policy, improving your employee retention/acquisition, ways to dramatically lower energy costs, and much more.
