We’re really excited to tell you that we’ve added another keynote speaker to our conference line-up on May 5th. Patrick Lor was one of the founders of iStockPhoto, the world’s largest stock photography site and one of the first companies to create a successful business model around crowdsourcing. iStockPhoto was sold to Getty Images in 2006 for $USD 50 million.

Pat’s talk is title “Crowdsourcing for Inspiration.” Here’s the description:

Once dubbed by competitors as “crappy images for crappy people”, crowdsourced stock photography is now well on its way to dominating the stock photo industry. With a powerful mix of community and technology, amateur photography was one of the first industries to create millions of dollars of value for both workers and customers. Patrick explains how iStockphoto worked hand-in-hand with a community to harness their inspiration and imagination into a world-class product.
