If only time could be rolled back: NEDians Convention 2007

Posted by Cemendtaur on December 10, 2007

It is said there is a maximum of six degrees of separation between any two human beings of this world: take two individuals at opposite sides of the globe, there would be a maximum of six people through which these two human beings would be indirectly acquainted with each other. At the NEDians Convention 2007 held in Silicon Valley, the degree of separation was at most two. Even with the oldest graduate from 1965 and the youngest from 2002, no two NEDians in that convention had to look for more than two contacts in between to personally know each other.

The NEDians’ Convention 2007 held on Saturday, September 8, was an all-day program. The morning session, attended by over 150 people, mostly NED alumni, was held at TechMart in Santa Clara; the evening program, attended by close to 400 people, was at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Jose.
