What is GeeksOnAPlane?

GeeksOnAPlane DC and Europe just wrapped up with an amazing group of tech investors, entrepreneurs and bloggers. As the network of "GOAP" alumni expands, we're looking at [Re]Think : Hawaii as an opportunity for an East Meets West gathering -- inviting GOAP folks we met in Tokyo, Beijing and Shanghai to meet those from the US and Europe edition in Hawaii Nov 1-5

Geeks On A Plane : SF / SV to Hawaii is hosted by

Dave McClure, Founders Fund

Dan Martell - Flowtown

We are inviting San Francisco and Silicon Valley based technologists, investors, and bloggers on a 6-day retreat to Honolulu, Hawaii to join us for the inaugural [Re]Think : Hawaii conference on Technology. Sustainability. Entrepreneurship. from November 1 - 5, 2009

Why Hawaii?

Feel free to use any one or all of these reasons to convince yourself to go. Otherwise, prepare yourself for complex feelings of regret and jealousy if you miss out on this opportunity.

• Meet an amazing group of investors, entrepreneurs and media converging for 5 days in Hawaii

• Fast Pitch : Hawaii just added. Startup entrepreneurs, pitch to a group of investors including VCs, angels and private equity folks attending.

• You get to travel with a group of people who are just as geeky as you are. You'll have convos and develop relationships that will last long after the conference.
  

• 2009 was a tough tough year. It almost kicked your ass. Recharge your battery in Hawaii before 2010.
  

• You are king/queen of your digital domain. Time to venture out of your pond and get international. Meet and connect with geeks from other US cities as well as Japan, China, Europe. Have you seen the attendee list? Amazing group of people: http://www.rethinkhawaii.com
  

• Not your average conference. If you follow the #GOAP hashtag on Twitter, the mix of people Dave McClure brings together are amazing.
  

• Beach. Sun. Awesome weather.
  

What is [Re]Think : Hawaii?

In November we’re creating an intersection – bringing an international group of people together who might otherwise never cross-paths – in the certainty that they’ll connect, share and learn from one another.

At its core, the week is about connecting entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders during a series of panels, lunches, excursions, dinners, cocktails and aloha style exchange of ideas and relationship building in Hawaii. Our focus is bringing people from our collective networks together who have a shared interest in solving problems and rethinking tech, business and sustainability.

We come from different sectors, cultures and countries. We’re angels, entrepreneurs, photographers, manufacturers, artists, writers, professionals and executives. We all have our passions and our interests. At our best, we define ourselves more by the ideas we share and the impact we want to make rather than the business cards we carry.

At [Re]Think: Hawaii, a group of people will be retreating from the day to day that conforms their thinking and venture outside of their digital ponds to meet offline in Hawaii.

The agenda has a lot of moving parts and is still a work in progress being updated daily with new details but you can follow along here:
