I'm one of the organizers of the Momentum Summit, a gathering that puts the spotlight on local entrepreneurs who've built significant companies, and invites them to share some of the secrets of their growth. This year, speakers included the CEO of Carbonite (the fastest-growing business in Boston, according to Inc. Magazine), the CTO and co-founder of Kayak (planning an initial public offering), and a co-founder of A123 Systems (which went public in 2009, in that year's largest IPO). MIT's Sloan School of Management hosts the event.

You can find audio from each session, below.

Here's some other coverage of the event:

Tweets from the event

Here are a few pics I shot:

And here's the audio from the event (you can download each file for later listening by clicking the "mp3" link.) As always, some questioners started talking before the microphone could get to them; in most cases, the questions were repeated.
