My conference, which last year was Widgety Goodness in the UK, has transformed into WidgetWebExpo and will take place in New York on June 16th and 17th this year.
Widgets for beginners: Widget tools: Widget marketing: Widget destinations: Big Media: APIs: Mashups: Programmable web: Large companys using widgets: Where’s the money in widgets: Enterprise widgets: Non-profit widgets: widgetized Intranet: Widgetising established content: Blog platforms: Social networks relating to widgets: All Google’s widgets: The power of Affiliate widgets: is SEO the hidden value in widgets: widget Metrics: Case studies: choosing widget technologies: Tools and platforms compared: Making widgets go viral: managing Widget content: Widget publishing: Licencing widget content: Open standards for widgets: Opensocial: Dataportability
I'm deep in planning the agenda - we've got some ace widgety speakers lined up already with a lot more to come. We have two days and two streams with some extra events thrown in around the edges. We're working on making it a unique widget industry event where all sides of this increasingly important space come together to understand developments and where we go from here. Feel the need to join the conversation? Sponsors welcomed.
More Stuff
In addition to the two days of speakers and panels, we'll have workshops, a Widget Standards BoF meet, WidgetWeb TV providing social networking via everyone's video input and the widgety goodness awards. Yes, I'm launching our very own industry awards, The Widgeties.
Speaker Search
I'm currently assembling the speakers and panels and am looking to shed light on all the corners of the industry. Take a look at the list of subjects above and fill out this form if you want to suggest yourself or someone you think should be speaking.
Lots more on all of this coming in the next few weeks. For the moment, the main thing is to clear the decks so you can be in New York on June 16th and 17th. Don't accept any other invitations, this is going to be a biggie. And if you can't make New York, we're also going to be in London in October.
Ivan,
Great logo for the Widgeties!!
Also, if you need any volunteers to do any sort of thing, you can sign me up.
