Berlin Web 2.0 Expo 2008


“We become stronger conference organizers through the experiences and feedback of our audiences,” said Jen Pahlka, Web 2.0 Expo General Manager and Conference Co-Chair.

Well, you have to. Otherwise you’d fail in your job and your company would go down the drain soon.

I was one of the critics of last years Web2.0Expo at Berlin Messe venue. If you have the absolutely wrong setting for a conference, you don’t have to care much about the content either. The BCC is at the heart of Berlin, it is used every year for Chaos Communication Congress.

Now I gotta wish Jen, which I think was doing a great job despite all well reasoned criticism last year, and her team a lucky hand when planning the conference slots and inviting speakers. Knowing that this is not America. You got to prove your ability to do more than just putting a bunch of ideas, speakers and presentation formats into an airplane to Berlin. Looking forward to see the result.

Date: 21st - 23rd Oct 2008
Location: Berlin, Berlin Congress Center
