Wattblock was busy networking at Telstra's CXO level Vantage trade show in Melbourne last week. Keynote speakers included Telstra's new CEO, Andrew Penn, who highlighted that start-ups today have more computing power at their disposal than Google had just 5 years ago. Other speakers included Mark Bouris and Malcolm Gladwell with the overarching theme of Disruption!
