Werner Vogels of Amazon.com will take part in the four-day event, which will
assemble the leading CEOs, entrepreneurs and thought leaders from the Web 2.0
and global technology and communications industries.
The keynote speakers have played an important role in the development and
support of the Web 2.0 industry, and continue to pave the way for future
innovations in its evolution. The keynote presentations will address topics
ranging from creating compelling software on the Web, promoting
entrepreneurism, and turning Web 2.0 into big business. The presentations
will be moderated by leading technology visionaries, including Tim O'Reilly,
who initially coined the term Web 2.0.
The conference agenda is divided into 5-tracks:
o Design and User Experience
o Development and Web Operations
o Fundamentals
o Marketing and Community
o Strategy and Business Models.
These tracks are designed to meet the increasing demand for Web 2.0
comprehension and skills, and to build a broader understanding within the
European Web 2.0 community. The themes identified within each track were
built in response to the overwhelming success from the San Francisco event
held earlier this year and comprehensive research within the European Web 2.0
community.
The full agenda and list of speakers are available through

The Web 2.0 Expo Berlin joins the annual Web 2.0 Summit and Web 2.0 Expo
events in San Francisco, New York and Tokyo, which bring together the most
innovative and successful internet industry figures and companies. These
industry pioneers will provide attendees with examples of business models,
development paradigms, and design strategies to enable mainstream businesses
and new arrivals to the Web 2.0 world take advantage of this new generation
of services and opportunities.
