To my fellow geeks hitting up WidgetCon that are interested in chatting, ping me via comment/email/fb/ms/im/cell/office/fax (whatever you got). I am speaking there with some pretty cool folks. For those of you that do not have the scoop about this dope-as-a-rope conference here is the dish from our amigos at Freewebs:

WidgetCon is a full day event to be held at the Tribeca Cinemas in New York on July 11th. Its objective is to begin to look towards the smart growth of widget marketing, through conversations on everything from standards to metrics to production and economics, as well as creative and media strategies.

This is making out to be an interesting event and will be the second official Widget-only conference ever. The first was Widgets Live held last year. That event grew out of organic blog commentary and was a smashing success. The speaker list is below. There was one speaker recently added to this list. Our friend Linda Abraham, EVP Comscore, is joining the panel. You heard it here first! Congrats to Linda and team on the IPO - we are psyched to celebrate. :)

Meet-up @ Web 2.0 Expo

April 15, 2007 at 11:54 pm · Filed under brand, conference, web2.0

Hey kids, I will be at the Web 2.0 Expo Mon-Weds. If you want to talk widgets, social networks, or generally just geek out, drop me a line. Or swing by my session Tuesday...

Using Widget Syndication for Online Marketing and Measurement Track: Marketing and Community Date: Tuesday, April 17 Time: 2:40pm - 3:30pm Location: 2002 2007 has been proclaimed "The Year of the Widget." Whether widgets live up to this hype or not remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain, widgets are going to continue to grow in importance. This talk will center around outlining the widget syndication trend, discuss why widgets work and why they don't work, and look at the latest in widget metrics and analytics. The talk will also discuss the use of widgets as a innovative marketing platform: why would you deliver your marketing message through a widget; what are the pros and cons; how can you build these promotional widgets; and how can you measure their effectiveness.

Hope to see some of you there. p.s. Dave M., I definitely owe you a drink. :) technorati tags:widgets, web2.0, web2.0expo, hooman
