NYTIMES on Edge,org, 2014 CONFIDENTIAL "...It didn't take long for an annual get-together ... to show mindboggling growth — in this case a change in its name from the Millionaires' Dinner to the Billionaires' Dinner... the crowd was sprinkled generously with those who had amassed wealth beyond imagining in a historical eye blink. The muscle and money behind tech stars such as Microsoft, America Online, Sun Microsystems and others ." WIRED Dear JE, Please join Katinka Matson and myself for the sixteenth annual EDGE dinner. The "Dinner" actually began 29 years ago at a Mexican restaurant during the 1985 Comdex in Las Vegas as "The Millionaires' Dinner" (branded by the WSJ in a front page article). It became an annual event beginning in 1998 with our first dinner in Monterey, and then, in 2010, we moved it to Long Beach. It's been called "The EFTA_R1_00388503 EFTA01934512 Digerati Dinner", "The Billionaires' Dinner" (thanks to the WSJ again in 1999), "The EDGE Science Dinner", "The Last Digerati Dinner", and our favorite iteration, "The New Age of Wonder Dinner", characterized by Freeman Dyson as the new era dominated by computational biology. He said: "A new generation of artists, writing genomes as fluently as Blake and Byron wrote verses, might create an abundance of new flowers and fruit and trees and birds to enrich the ecology of our planet. Most of these artists would be amateurs, but they would be in close touch with science, like the poets of the earlier Age of Wonder. The new Age of Wonder might bring together wealthy entrepreneurs ... and a worldwide community of gardeners and fanners and breeders, working together to make the planet beautiful as well as fertile, hospitable to hummingbirds as well as to humans." "The leaders of the new Age of Wonder, Dyson noted, include 'biology wizards' Kary Mullis, Craig Venter, medical engineer Dean Kamen; and 'computer wizards' Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and Charles Simonyi, and John Brockman and Katinka Matson, the cofounders of EDGE, the nexus of this intellectual activity."
