CeBIT Sydney Recap

Had a wonderful time in Sydney for CeBIT. Loved the city, loved the people, and loved the conference. I'm going to start collecting some of the press, video, and blog clippings here. If you covered the trip please post links in the comments.

At the event I did two talks: "Going Big" and "Entrepreneurial Insanity." Both were well received, and I'm looking forward to doing a blog post on each complete with the slides and the video in the next week or so. Tyler is encoding the video, complete with some behind the scenes footage.

Every year I try to visit at least three countries outside the United States in order to learn about what's going on in the space, meet people, and spread the word about Mahalo. These trips take five days each on average, but the 15-20 days I spend on them are well worth it.

In the past year we've traveled to Le Web 3 in Paris (video of my talk), DLD in Munich (video interview), CeBIT in Sydney, and NMK Fordum in London.

If you're interested in having me speak at your conference please email Tyler at Mahalo.com and cc me jason at calacanis.com.

Here's the first set of clippings.

Best Jason

Toro, a bulldog

Hello. My name is Jason.
I'm the CEO of Mahalo.com, a human powered search engine. I was previously the co-founder of Weblogs, Inc. with Brian Alvey, and the GM of Netscape.

I'm currently on the board of social shopping site ThisNext. You might remember me from my days as editor and CEO of the Silicon Alley Reporter magazine.

Mike Arrington and I partnered on the TechCrunch40 event in September. We're going to do it again next year.

This is my blog, this is where I live. You should also listen to my podcast.
