San Francisco, Calif, (PRWEB) April 12, 2006 -- Colabria® -- the leading worldwide action/research network of the knowledge economy - announces the Prediction Markets Summit - Chicago, Wednesday, June 7, 2006 at the Gleacher Executive Center, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Prediction markets are brutally honest and uncannily accurate.

Online prediction markets, a recent innovation, have proved remarkably successful at forecasting future events. They do much better, in many domains, than deliberating groups. They provide a valuable model for any private and public organization that seeks access to many minds and collective wisdom.

"Prediction markets are brutally honest and uncannily accurate." — Geoffrey Colvin - Value Driven – Fortune Magazine.

The Chicago Prediction Markets Summit is a triangulation of stunning thought leadership, disruptive technology innovation and future-focused practices for traders and users.

Knowledge and prediction markets are becoming commonplace in the smartest firms. Top firms using prediction markets are Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, Eli Lilly, Abbott Laboratories, HP and Siemens.

Cass Sunstein, Karl N. Llewellyn Distinguished Service Professor of Jurisprudence, University of Chicago Law School and Summit Keynote observes, “Online prediction markets, a recent innovation, have proved remarkably successful at forecasting future events.
