Web 2.0 in NY

I will be attending next week’s Web 2.0 Expo 2008 in New York.

Garys Guide has a schedule of the key events and off site associated event parties.

It will be a bit of a change from the typical MySQL Conferences and recent OSCON Conference I have attended this year.

The Keynote titles gives you an indication of the variety of talks expected.

  • Organizing Chaos: The Growth of Collaborative Filters
  • (Re)making the Internet: Accounting for the Future of Information, Communication and Entertainment Technologies
  • Next Generation of Video Games
  • 10 Things We’ve Learned at 37signals
  • High Order Bit
  • What ManyEyes Knows
  • Arianna Huffington in Conversation with Tim O’Reilly
  • Because We Make You Happy
  • The Real Future of Technology
  • Enterprise Radar
  • The Death of the Grand Gesture
  • It’s Not Information Overload. It’s Filter Failure.
  • Building Personal Brand Within the Social Media Landscape
