What is the Web2Open?

Web2Open is a free event where you can connect with other participants over your Web 2.0 successes, challenges and questions. As an unconference, the Open lets attendees determine most of the sessions, and it emphasizes participation over presentations. This year, the Open also features a handful of pre-scheduled discussion sessions seeded with people who are passionate about the topics. The Open is a great way to network with other attendees, learn more about elements of Web 2.0, and share your experience!

The Web2Open, open to anyone who would like to participate, is a part of the Web 2.0 Expo. You need a badge to attend, but you can register for free on site using the code websf08opw (this free badge will admit you to the Web2Open sessions, Expo Keynotes, Show Floor and Launch Pad).

What's the format?

The Web2Open consists of three major elements:

Open-grid Sessions

Propose a topic you'd like to discuss. Show up. Lead a discussion.

To offer an Open session, simply head to the 2nd floor of Moscone West the day you want to hold the session (either April 23 or 24) and point yourself at the whiteboard grid. Find an open space on the grid and fill in your topic. We'll have approximately 20 open slots, and it's first come, first served. Intros and sign-ups start at 9:00a on April 23 and 10:40a on April 24.

Pre-scheduled Roundtables

Join an open conversation with a panel of community members we've scheduled in advance. We're planning five of these sessions, and we'll post them to the schedule as we confirm them.

Hybrid Sessions

We're picking three sessions in the main conference track that will be open to all Web2Open attendees. Then we're following those presentations with discussions in the Web2Open.

Notes from Last Year

Kudos to last year's organizers for getting the format started and working out a lot of kinks:

The feedback from the Web2Open 2007.

Note: We're not doing The Mashroom this year because it didn't get enough use last year. (I'd be interested in supporting some concrete expression of code this year if anyone has suggestions. Otherwise, it's probably just as valuable to have the discussions here lead to coding when you get home --Tony)
