Next09 Next-Conference is one of the biggest Internet-Tech related conferences that happens every year. This year, quite rightly, the theme/topic of the conference is “Share Economy”.

“Share Economy” is a term shaped by the economy theorist Martin Weitzman. The term simply means "The more we share our success with others, the more we profit ourselves. This applies to humans as well as brands." [link]

That reminds me of one of the articles I wrote more than a year ago “Concepts vs. Solutions for Start-ups and Entrepreneurs” where I defined a good business model as the one which helps others grow as it grows.

“A business model which allows people to create business around it will most certainly succeed and will gather a lot of support and not only sustain but grow quickly (Example: eBay, Google Advertising, FaceBook with Applications).” [link]

Next recently released a video interview with Jeff Jarvis who echo’s similar views about a great business or a business model. Jeff is one of the keynote speakers at Next09, he is Director of the interactive Journalism program at the City University of New York’s new Graduate School of Journalism and also blogs about Media and news at Buzzmachine.com.

This without a doubt is one of the best conferences a budding technologist, enterpruner, tech evangelist, tech enthusiast, bloggers, or anyone remotely interested in internet technologies in general should attend and sync with likeminded and established people in the industry.

Next09 is scheduled to happen at Hamburg, Kampnagel, on May 5 & 6. If you are planning to attend the event then this is the right time to secure your tickets and book a hotel before it gets too crowded.
