Wednesday | Thursday | Friday

Wednesday,
October 5 		7:30 a.m. Breakfast
8:30 a.m. Morning Workshops

Web 2.0's workshops are designed to be conversations, not lectures. Each is led by a moderator with expertise in the workshop topic, but no formal presentations will be given. Instead, the workshop will address open questions and explore the latest developments in each of these very Web 2.0 subjects.

Examples include "VC 2.0: An Entrepreneurs' Market?"; "Search By Another Name: New Ideas in Search";"Applications 2.0: Ajax And Beyond (The Business Case)"; and our inagural LAUNCHPAD- where 12 new companies will show their wares.
