Last week we told you about some upcoming Web Conferences. We also gave away a ticket to Defrag, which is on right now. The winner was Kevin Cawley, so hope he is having a good time 🙂 R/WW has a few people at Defrag – Sean, Alex and Charles Knight (of AltSearchEngines) are all there. The Web 2.0 Expo is on this week too, in Berlin – give us a shout if you’re attending, it’d be good to have some coverage of it on R/WW.
We had some follow up messages about other events, so here is an update…
The GigaOm Network is presenting a one day event called NewTeeVee Live, to be held in San Francisco on 14th of November. The event will showcase the online video industry. NewTeeVee is a similar blog to last100 (a Read/WriteWeb Network blog), so we will be closely following the action. R/WW readers can get a discount on NewTeeVee live tickets by clicking here.
Note: if anyone would like to provide some live coverage of NewTeeVee Live for last100, please contact us. We may be able to get you a free press pass to the event.
Blog World Expo, Nov 8 – 9 in Las Vegas
This is where the Weblog Awards 2007 will be announced — VOTE FOR READ/WRITEWEB! pleeease. Also our friend Allen Stern from CenterNetworks will be present, apparently with a mini video camera attached to his head!
Widgety Goodness
British startup Snipperoo is holding a conference about widgets on December 6, 2007, at Brighton. We have 2 free tickets to give away! To enter, simply leave a comment on this post, telling us what your all-time favorite widget is. Note the event is in the UK, so make sure you can attend if you enter. I’ll pick the 2 winners by end of this week.
Intelligence at the Interface, Nov 7, Palo Alto
I really want someone to write up this event for us – so please yell out if you’re going and you’re up for doing a guest post on R/WW. Here’s a description from an email I received:
“SRI is demoing CALO (cognitive agent that learns and organizes), a rare glimpse. ItÄôs use is military-only, and will never see the public (Radar did work on this project in its early days). XEROC PARC is demoing a social context-aware, mobile app. (going live only in Japan to start), that works like a tour guide, and Yahoo Berkeley Labs is demoing an application that uses social, spatial, and temporal context to support and enhance key user tasks (runs only on a special Nokia phone). Really, really cool stuff, all Web3.0, and the location-aware stuff is especially cool — a lot like the Äúholy grailÄù of mobile networking that people keep talking about.”
I’m sure there are many more web conferences happening, but I will be here all night… so if you have an event on that you want R/WW readers to know about, let us know in the comments. Or you can enter it in our Events Board, hosted by EventBee. You can list your event there for as little as $75.
