Nabeel Hyatt and Mok Oh to Talk Consumer Tech at XSITE 2012

Five words: Nabeel Hyatt and Mok Oh.

Five questions: What’s hot in consumer tech? What comes after the lean startup model? How does Nabeel like the VC life? How does Mok like Silicon Valley compared to Boston? What else should we talk about?

So many questions, so little time. I’ll be moderating a chat with Hyatt (of Spark Capital, Zynga, and Conduit Labs fame) and Oh (of PayPal, Where, and EveryScape fame) at XSITE next week, June 14, at Babson College. Tickets have been going fast, but you can still get yours here (we have startup and student rates…plus still a few startup comps to give away, courtesy of CommonAngels and NEVCA, if you act fast).

That session is in the morning, but stick around all day, as we’ll have everyone from Phil Libin of Evernote, to Dave Balter of BzzAgent, to Carl Dietrich of Terrafugia, to Bill Warner from Avid and Wildfire, on hand for the festivities. Plus 10 scrappy startups in our “Xpo” to close out the day and usher in the bar and networking. Here’s the full agenda for the day.

Looking forward to seeing you there on June 14.
