    The Web 2.0 Conference focuses on emerging business and technology developments that utilize the web as a platform and defines how the web will drive business in the future. What began as a focused gathering on the implications of the web becoming a platform has transformed into an industry event focused on the latest Internet innovations that are redefining the way companies do business and how people live. The Web 2.0 Conference is known for its interactive format stressing audience interaction and participation. Through incisive plenary sessions, cut-through-the-hype onstage conversations, rapid-fire "high order bits" and "show me" presentations and in-depth workshops, visionaries and executives from platform businesses will present their unique perspective on the web's future-in-flux.
