BGS-SF Holiday Gathering
Speaker Bio






Our Holiday Speaker:
Kara Swisher of The Wall Street Journal's Boomtown and
D:All Things Digital.

About Kara:

Kara Swisher currently co-produces and co-hosts
D: All Things Digital, a major high-tech conference with
interviewees such as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and many
other leading players in the tech and media industries,
with Walt Mossberg. The gathering is considered one of
the leading conferences focused on the convergence of
tech and media industries. Mossberg and Swisher are also
the Co-Executive Editors of the tech and media analysis
site, AllThingsD.com, where Swisher writes a daily blog
called BoomTown.

She started covering digital issues for the The Wall Street
Journal's San Francisco bureau in 1997. Her column,
BoomTown, originally appeared on the front page of the
Marketplace section and also online at WSJ.com.
Previously, Ms. Swisher covered breaking news about the
Web's major players and Internet policy issues and also
wrote feature articles on technology for the paper. She has
also written a weekly column for the Personal Journal on
home gadget issues called Home Economics.

Swisher is also the author of "aol.com: How Steve Case
Beat Bill Gates, Nailed the Netheads and Made Millions in
the War for the Web," published by Times Business Books
in July 1998. The sequel, "There Must Be a Pony in Here
Somewhere: The AOL Time Warner Debacle and the Quest
for a Digital Future," was published in the fall of 2003 by
Crown Business Books.

She is a graduate of Georgetown University and the
Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
