Prosper Days 2008 is right around the corner (Monday and Tuesday, February 25-26, 2008).  It is being held at The Parc 55 Hotel, 55 Cyril Magin Street, in beautiful San Francisco. To register please visit the website Prosper Days.

The keynote speaker will be Steven Dubner the co-author of Freakonomics the book and the blog.  He is an enthralling author and speaker, exploring such topics as how crime rate reduction is linked to the legalization of abortion and the relationship between cheating on standardized tests and sumo wrestling.

The keynote address will be given by Prosper CEO Chris Larsen.  For over a decade Chris Larsen has focused on using the Internet to make consumer lending more efficient, fair, honest, open, and trustworthy.

There will be plenty of opportunity for networking with other Prosper members in between such entertaining and informational topics as the High ROI Lender Panel, Collections Practices, Leveraging Social Capital, Blogger Panel, Pricing Fundamentals: Earning a Risk Adjusted Return, API Uses and Pitfalls, and Managing Large Portfolios.

Don’t forget to register at the Prosper Days Website.

Here is last year’s keynote by Prosper CEO Chris Larsen.

Steven Dubner’s blog is pretty darn good, of course. But let’s not forget his blog entry about Prosper!
