East meets West on Nantucket
Source: Nantucket Conference
May 3-5 will be the eighth year for the invite-only Nantucket Conference. It's an elite, intimate gathering for New England entrepreneurs, techies and investors. Plus it's in Nantucket, which surely has something to do with why it thrives. With VC funding at it's highest since 2001, optimism is in the salty air. Silicon Valley and Boston rank first and second for VC funding nationally and the theme for Nantucket is shaping up to be "East meets West." West coast speakers include co-founder of Adobe, Chuck Geschke (who has a home on Nantucket), Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster, and Ask.com CEO Jim Lanzone.
