Want a VIP ride to Echelon 2011? Get on Facebook right now!

Currently, we are in the midst of running a panel topic suggestions competition on our Facebook page. The main idea behind the competition is to get a feel of what our attendees think would add value to our current line-up of topics.

Here are a couple of interesting ideas submitted so far, but there’s a new twist to the contest:

“Failconf – those who failed and why”

“Lean is mean – how to make small seed funding work”

“Data mining, sentiment analysis or the monitoring of people’s behavior: how this is shaping the data revolution.”

What’s the new twist? We are upping the stakes. The winner now gets The Full Echelon Experience. That means two passes to our Day Zero Dinner, a strictly invite-only event where you will get to rub shoulders with all the speakers, sponsors and friends of e27. It’s an open bar plus some really great food. On top of that, if the winner is a foreign delegate, we will throw in two nights’ stay at our preferred hostel, G4 Station, which has WiFi and an excellent location off Orchard Road. Hang out with other conference goers who’ll be staying there too.

How does this competition work? Just submit your ideas as comments to this status and get your friends to “Like” them. The suggestion with the most “Likes” will be declared our winner.

So, what are you waiting for? Write your ideas in the comments and get your friends to send you on your way. Submissions close at 2359 hours (GMT +08:00) on Saturday, 28 May.
