Making the World Suck Less

So perhaps delegates here were expecting CEO Steve Hafner to give away some insight around Kayak’s decision to IPO this morning.

A purdah exists around IPOs, although curiously he was still happy to talk freely about growth plans and an acquisition strategy in the future.

Instead, alongside the usual array of put-downs (on Hipmunk: “I find their bravado refreshing; their product unremarkable”) and funnies (on what one thing he would love do: “I *really* can’t tell you that”), Hafner offered a some detail about his opposition to the Google-ITA Software deal and a few nuggets of news.
