SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16--O'Reilly Media, Inc. and TechWeb,
producers of Web 2.0 Expo and Web 2.0 Summit, today announced the return of
Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco, the annual event for developers, designers,
marketers, and business professionals building the next generation Web. This
year, Web 2.0 Expo centers on the idea of "the Power of Less," exploring how
the principles of Web 2.0 can turn constraints into opportunities. Web 2.0
Expo San Francisco is March 31 - April 3, 2009 at Moscone West.
Web 2.0 events have consistently inspired and educated this industry
through memorable and market-moving programs. "The Web is serving as the
innovation engine for an economy in peril," said Jennifer Pahlka, co-chair of
Web 2.0 Expo, "and the recent slate of Web 2.0 programs, including the sold-
out Web 2.0 Summit in November, attest to the energy and excitement of the
community. There is enormous opportunity available to those willing to embrace
the Web as a platform."
Web 2.0 Expo hosts innovative and successful internet industry
representatives and companies to discuss leveraging the power of the Web in
challenging times. Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco will consist of a multi-track
conference, an "unconference" program called Web2Open, a major tradeshow and
many networking opportunities and events. Conference tracks include: Strategy
& Business Models, Marketing & Community, Design & User Experience,
Fundamentals, Development and four focus tracks: Web Operations, Mobile,
Security and Entertainment.
