At the last minute I was asked to fill in as a replacement to give a keynote speech last week to the International Conference on Software Business in Brussels.
I discovered that starting a keynote with a Dilbert cartoon is an effective ice-breaker for a one-hour slog. Here is the slideware of the keynote discussion which I cobbled together in the hotel room the night before. For those seeking a good cure for insomnia or stuck in an airport with unlimited wifi, any suggestions for improvement would be most welcome…
On a more serious note, I applaud Inge and Björn for their impeccable organization of a valuable conference. Thank you !

Hi Mark,
We meet briefly after your presentation in Brussels.
I am a big fan of the Truffle100, which I believe we should extend to Truffle1000. As you said in your presentation Belgium is for chocolate, US is for software. As a European I want to ensure that we get our fair share of the software business. But in a global perspective, I just find it critical that companies with good software and viable business models can get global coverage.

I would like to thank you again for your excellent keynote in Brussels.
Several persons told me afterwards they really enjoyed it.
In all the fuss, we forgot to give you a small present. Could you email your address to us so we can still send it?
Best regards,
Inge
