Web 2.0 Summit 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—the services, applications, businesses, and models—that are redefining the way companies do business and how people live.
I've been fortunate to again be invited and will be flying out to the west coast on Wednesday, over the years I've met some incredible people there. The first
Web 2.0 conference is still the
most memorable event I have ever attended. I like the one track, one room shared experience where the speakers and attendees all interact and exchange ideas.
Steve Ballmer is giving a Keynote this year, will he be making any big announcements? Nokia is a Platinum sponsor and they are expected to announce some sort of Web 2.0 phone just ahead of
CTIA which I will also be attending next week. Paul is having dinner with Rupert Murdoch at the Plaice Hotel, what do you think he wants to tell me?
