Prediction Market conference round-up
Jed Christiansen October 21st, 2007
In the past month, there have been two excellent conferences on prediction markets. Consensus Point hosted a conference in New York City on September 24th, and another conference was held in London on October 11-12th.
I took some fairly extensive notes during both conferences, and the links are below.
New York:
Highlights: James Surowiecki, preview of Best Buy’s prediction market project, ConsensusPoint’s new trading interface.
Part 1 - Robin Hanson, Dave Perry (ConsensusPoint), Misys, My Currency
Part 2 - Media Predict, Qualcomm, GE Global Research, CNBC, (Panel Discussion), Mercury Research & Consulting, James Surowiecki
London:
Highlights: Demo of Microsoft’s prediction market software, stories of prediction market successes from Nosco and Pro:kons, John Delaney of InTrade answering probing questions.
Part 1 - Gexid, InTrade, Xpree, Prof. Leighton Vaughn Williams
Part 2 - FT.com, Newsfutures, Microsoft (Information Markets Group), Nosco
Part 3 - Mercury Research & Consulting, Prof. Peter Sorensen, Pro:kons
It’s pretty difficult to set up a webcast, so until conferences are able to do that more easily (as I know Chris would like), I hope these notes are useful for those that weren’t able to attend. Click here to contact me if you have any questions.
