Cyon Research Announces Keynotes for COFES 2010
 BETHESDA,
MD, Dec 18, 2009 - Cyon Research Corporation, host of the Congress on the
Future of Engineering Software (COFES), announced today that Omid Moghadam
and Bo Burlinham will keynote at COFES 2010.
COFES is the annual by-invitation-only gathering of the leadership from
the community of vendors, users, press, and analysts from the domain of
software for design and engineering.
Geomagic Corporation is sponsoring Bo Burlingham’s keynote: “Got Mojo?”
Burlingham, editor-at-large of Inc. Magazine and chairman of the Small
Giants Community (www.smallgiants.org),
is a brilliant commentator on the nature of business and how it can be
harmonious with the pursuit of greatness.
"Burlingham's message is particularly relevant to the software
entrepreneurs in the COFES audience," says COFES co-founder and visionary
Joel Orr. "Understanding the relative benefits and disadvantages of size is
powerful."
Burlingham’s book, Small Giants: Companies That Choose To Be Great
Instead of Big was a finalist for the 2006 Financial Times/Goldman Sachs
Business Book of the Year award. According to Cyon Research president & CEO
Brad Holtz, Burlingham’s most recent book, co-authored with Norm Brodsky,
The Knack: How Street-Smart Entrepreneurs Learn to Handle Whatever Comes Up,
“…is a must read for any current or prospective entrepreneur.”
In addition to Small Giants and The Knack, Burlingham co-authored two
books with Jack Stack, the pioneer of open-book management. One of the
books, The Great Game of Business, has sold more than 300,000 copies. The
other, A Stake in the Outcome, has been called “the first management classic
of the new millennium.
“I am delighted that Bo Burlingham has agreed to keynote COFES 2010,”
says Ping Fu, president and CEO of Geomagic and 2005 Inc. Magazine
Entrepreneur of the Year. “Bo is a passionate advocator, thought leader, and
reporter for entrepreneurship, he brings a refreshing and grounded
prospective on what makes a company great in any time and any community. We
can all learn something from Bo’s heroes.”
Omid Moghadam’s keynote: “From Product Informatics to Bio-Informatics”
will discuss how software vendors from design and engineering fields have a
disruptive opportunity in bioinformatics.
According to Moghadam, “…modest successes in developing software for
biological modeling have never made it to the market, since any company that
was able to show success has promptly transformed itself into a drug
discovery firm, instead of becoming a software tools provider to the
industry. This is akin to a company with a CAD/CAM package deciding to turn
itself into an airframe manufacturer.”
As an inventor (he holds 32 patents) and leader straddling both the
engineering and healthcare domains, Moghadam is in a unique position to
address the applicability of the resources of the engineering software
community to the developing needs of the explosively growing field of
Bioinformatics and Genomics.
Omid Moghadam is the chair of the National Development Board for the
Ignite Institute for Individual Health and recently joined Harvard Medical
School’s Center for Biomedical Informatics. Moghadam is perhaps best known
for his work at Intel as head of product strategy. During his tenure at
Intel, Moghadam led the team responsible for Intel’s push into 3D graphics.
His experience at COFES provided much of the proof point for his team which
eventually resulted in the definition of what became project Alamere, which
evolved into Intel’s new Larrabee chip (due to launch in 2010). Later,
still at Intel, Moghadam led Intel’s entrance into electronic health records
and genomics industries. Later on, he founded Dossia Corporation, a national
network for consumer-controlled personal health records.
