Web 2.0 Expo SF: Business Up Front, Party in the Back
We are pleased to announce a triumvirate (well, quadumvirate) of keynoters who neatly illustrate the breadth and impact of our 2009 program. We lead with the man responsible for a $16 billion business and the dominant office platform today, and transition to the creator of the most compelling interactive entertainment experiences money can buy. In the mix, we'll hear from a pair who invented a business model around community and creation. We hope you'll join us to hear:
Stephen Elop is the President of Microsoft's Business Division, where he oversees Information Worker (Office), Business Solutions (Dynamics CRM) and Unified Communications businesses. Stephen will sit down with Tim O'Reilly for a frank conversation about the future of these groups.
Will Wright, the creator of Spore, The Sims, SimCity, and dozens of other ground-breaking games, will share his insights on creativity, user-generated content, and what he's learned from shipping 2008's most highly anticipated game.
Jake Nickell founded Threadless.com in 2000 on the idea of community creation; he and COO Jeffrey Kalmikoff now run this remarkable business, which has been cited by numerous publications for its ingenuity and dramatic growth. Jake and Jeffrey are a case study in many of the principles of Web 2.0.
