If you’re passionate about the power of the web, come share your knowledge and insights with your peers at Web 2.0 Expo New York.
Our speakers reflect our audience, so we’re looking for independents, start-ups, enterprises, and everyone in between, in a wide variety of industries. We’re also looking for new thinking. Canned pitches aren’t a fit here; we want to hear your thoughts from your own experience, building on what’s worked (or not) in the real world.
Our theme this year is the Power of Less. This doesn’t just mean making do with fewer staff and a smaller budget, though many of us are in that boat. It means that constraints drive creativity, whether in business models, design paradigms, or platforms. It means the power of the small screen, the thin client, the streamlined interface. It might mean the power of small teams, or even going solo. It’s also the paradox of power: sometimes the best way to gain power is to give it away, which is why during these challenging times, we are learning that nothing builds brands like a nurtured community. It’s also the power of data: of data-centric business models, and the power of data to inform our decisions and to focus us on what matters.
