| Third Annual Web 2.0 Conference O'Reilly Media, Inc. and CMP Media jointly unveiled the list of preliminary participants and topics for the third annual Web 2.0 Conference. Web 2.0 has become the gathering place for business leaders of the new Web, bringing together a community of innovators to discuss and debate the most important issues and strategies driving the Internet economy. This year's theme is "Disruption and Opportunity, " focusing on the services, applications, businesses, and models that are reshaping the business landscape and creating opportunities for entrepreneurs who understand the power of the Internet. The Web 2.0 Conference takes place November 7-9, 2006 in San Francisco. The Web 2.0 Conference is known for its interactive format stressing audience interaction and participation. Through incisive plenary sessions, cut-through-the-hype onstage conversations, rapid-fire "high order bits" and "show me" presentations and in-depth workshops, visionaries and executives from platform businesses will present their unique perspective on the Web's future-in-flux. The Web 2.0 Conference focuses on emerging business and technology developments that utilize the Web as a platform and defines how the Web will drive business in the future. What began as a focused gathering on the implications of the Web becoming a platform has transformed into an industry event focused on the latest Internet innovations that are redefining the way companies do business and how people live. This year's conference will also feature the Launch Pad event, which debuted last year to enthusiastic reviews. Launch Pad showcases a select group of start-ups offering a promising new business model or innovative technology -- or both. Sixty entries vied for inclusion last year; only thirteen made the cut. This year's competition for Launch Pad inclusion promises to be even fiercer. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Exhibition News :: home page |
