See: http://r.vresp.com/?KMCluster/cb3043f7f2/464838/4041b7327b/8153554 Top knowledge scientists, information market practitioners, business school professors, think tanks, KM visionaries and prediction market tool providers are converging for an important, one-day Prediction Markets Summit in New York City on the future of Prediction Markets. Knowledge and prediction markets are becoming routine in the smartest firms. For example, top firms using prediction markets are Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Eli Lilly, Abbott Laboratories, Intel and Siemens. At the World Economic Forum in Davos knowledge markets will be applied. Of course prediction markets have been used for decades to forecast, with uncanny accuracy, the outcome of popular elections. "There is some amazing evidence to support markets as predictors of future events." — (Professor Vernon Smith - 2002 winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics) Join the prediction markets community for a one-day, conversational deep-dive of prediction markets. http://r.vresp.com/?KMCluster/2e479e6d57/464838/4041b7327b/8153554.
