Cisco I-Prize contest workable in Nashville

David Hsieh (left), the Cisco marketing exec who led the year-long I-Prize competition in winners get cash and jobs in a new Cisco venture, told VNC in an interview last week that he'd welcome a chance to make another trip to Nashville to talk about lessons learned during the I-Prize process, which attracted 1,200 ideas. He said he thinks a city like Nashville couple replicate the I-Prize process, capture entrepreneurial energies and perhaps spawn a new venture or two. Read more about it here.

Hsieh has a reason to visit: 2008 FTTH Conference & Expo Linking Communities at the Speed of Light, September 21 – 25, 2008 http://www.ftthconference.com/ftth2008/public/enter.aspx Cisco has a booth scheduled. Don Tapscott of Wikinomics fame speaks. Who enables collaboration more than Cisco? Yep, I'm a stock holder...
