Join us October 5-7, 2005 at the Argent Hotel located in beautiful San Francisco for the second annual Web 2.0 Conference.
Atlast year‘s Web 2.0 Conference, we gathered to discuss the implications of the Web becoming a platform. This year, we‘re taking Web 2.0 further, focusing not just on declaring the platform, but showing where the innovation is happening and what we might expect in the coming year. We‘re assembling a select group ofthought leaders and innovators to explore this year‘s theme--"Revving The Web"-- focusing on the services, applications, businesses, and models that are reshaping the Internet, particularly for media and entertainment, communications and mobile, policies and legal issues, and the concept of the web OS.
Join us for three extraordinary days of discussion, debate, announcements, and fun. Web 2.0 speakers include executives and entrepreneurs from internet giants and the innovative companies that are transforming the way we do business.
