Future of Search Is Sold Out; See You Tonight

Tonight’s Xconomy Forum on The Future of Search and Information Discovery is now officially sold out. Thanks for all the interest—it’s going to be a great evening, with some really great networking.

For those of you who grabbed tickets before they ran out, registration starts at 5:30 pm at the Walker-Ames Room in Kane Hall (second floor), on the west side of the University of Washington campus. You can try to park on the street, or in the Central Plaza parking garage off of 15th Avenue NE and NE 41st Street. (See map here, and parking garage directions here.)

So get your questions ready for Google, Microsoft (Bing), Vulcan Capital, UW, venture capitalists, and a bunch of search-related startups. We want this to be as informal and interactive as possible, and look forward to seeing you all there.
