I've been waiting for the video recording of the panel to be posted at fora.tv, which I'm told should happen latter this week. That way I can add my reflections on the panel, but then you can draw your on conclusions as well. As a preview, I enjoyed the panel but it didn't focus on all the issues I thought it could have. (Limited time, various points of view... it's the nature of any panel). I'll try to share some of my own thoughts in my follow-up post. Thanks for keeping me on my toes! Thanks Dave for the request.

I've been looking for a recap or something, but not finding much. I unfortunately live in Arkansas, so wasn't able to attend. (Well, unfortunate for not being able to attend, not unfortunate for living in AR - most days anyway...) So how did it go? I’ve been looking for a recap or something, but not finding much.

The shift from products to services represents an amazing opportunity for businesses to reorganize themselves around more sustainable models. Instead of consumption aimed at the accumulation of goods, service providers offer competing experiences. It seems to me that the balance between business and sustainability is a world where <strong>not</strong> owning is a status symbol. In this new world, we'll brag about our favorite car sharing services to the poor saps who still own an SUB. We won't, as Alex Steffen always points out, own a garage full of power tools, we'll share them as a community mediated by service providers who manage the logistics. The luxury of not owning piles of stuff seems to me to be the future of business in a world where the environmental and ethical costs matter more and more.
