If you're in the Silicon Valley area, there's a pretty cool VLAB event happening on June 18th

http://www.vlab.org/article.html?aid=469

It should be interesting, they will have a Stanford Economist provide a quick intro on Virtual Currencies (and Bitcoin).  Kashmir Hill from Forbes Magazine, and the Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss (from Winklevoss Capital).

VLAB is a way to get entrepreneurs, industry experts, venture capitalists, and private investors together to exchange ideas and insights.  Usually the panel consists of a moderator to lead the discussion, two small companies (doing something disruptive), an incumbent (larger company which might be threatened), and a venture capitalist or investor.  Examples of small companies (which later became very big) include Google and Siri (bought by Apple).

If you're not in the Silicon Valley area, it will be videotaped, and available for viewing later.

The economist was awesome. If anyone video'd that, it's worth watching all by itself. The rest....
