Web 2.0 Expo Goes Coast To Coast
I have been making plans to attend the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco coming up in April 22-25, 2008. The Web 2.0 Expo is a large web app convention taking place at the Moscone Center West. Many companies and attendees will be attending this event in its second year. The first year they indicate on their site that they had 8,500 attendees at the event. This is an excellent number given that it was in its inaugural year, The event is hosted by CMP Technologies and O’Reilly Conferences. The website explains the convention as:
The second Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco takes the pulse of the Web ecosystem and looks to its future, training a spotlight across the Web 2.0 universe to illuminate how the Internet Revolution is being created and delivered. Web 2.0 Expo is for the builders of the next generation web: designers, developers, entrepreneurs, marketers, business strategists, and venture capitalists, people who have experiences to share and a passion for learning–the hot new thing, lessons from failures, innovations and inspirations, and the practical applications of all of the above. What will you do with the power of Web 2.0?
I’m trying to get out to the expo in San Francisco so if you plan to attend, please look me up and we can go over notes as to how you and I can change the world using Web 2.0. Perhaps we can discuss Conventions 2.0?
If you register before March 20, 2008, you save $350 off the registration price.
The other news about the Web 2.0 Expo is that it intends to also have an event on the East Coast in New York City at the Jacob Javits Center on September 16-19, 2008. If they can support both a west coast and an east coast conference it will be interesting. Hopefully they won’t dilute the attendance of their already proven expo. They have also had an Expo in Berlin and an Expo in Tokyo. Finally they also hold a conference called the Web 2.0 Summit. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it to the Expo in San Francisco, and I can report my attendance there.
