D5 all things digital

D5是华尔街日报在纽约每年举办的论坛， 至今已经5届， 看看他们的speaker名单吧。用在一位VC的仁兄博客上看到的， The speakers at their first "D" were just too good:

• 2003: Bill Gates (founder M$), Steve Jobs (Apple), Barry Diller (TV&movie exec), Larry and Sergey (founder Google), Meg Whitman (head eBay), Terry Semel (head Yahoo), Mark Cuban(NBA小牛队的老板， 做web起家的， 后来买了一支NBA球队)
• 2004： Gates, Jobs, Ellison (head of Oracle, fcuking rich), Carly Fiorina (that time CEO HP), Masa(don't know this one, anyone can help me out here?), Henning Kagermann (CEO SAP)
• 2005: Gates, Jobs, Mel Karmazin (CEO Viacom, CBS, Sirius Satellite Radio, Incorporated), McNealy (head Sun), Zander (CEO Motorola), Diller, Jerry Yang (founder Yahoo) and Dave Filo (founder Yahoo)
• 2006: Gates, Al Gore, Howard Stringer (CEO Sony), Terry Semel, Vinod Khosla (VC, big influencer in Silicon Valley, co-founder of Daisy Systems and founding Chief Executive Officer of Sun Microsystems), Bob Iger (head of Walt Disney) (Jobs couldn't make it and was sorely missed)
• 今年比尔盖茨和乔布斯同台在D5 不要错过。

北美有很多朋友能看到更多关于D5的视频， 估计有些电视台也会转播一些内容。 其中他们说成功只需要2个因素1. Passion 2. have Talent around you.

我还想加一个， 3. be at the right place at the right time.
