I’m pretty excited about getting to go to the Web 2.0 Summit. First I got an email two weeks ago apologizing that the summit was full, then I got an email last week from my friend Jared, saying that he scored me a ticket. HP is one of the sponsors so I’m sure that helped. Getting to go to events like this is another advantage to being one of the few HP employees in this space (and the only one that I know of with Web 2.0 in their job title).
To see the list of heavy hitters you can check out the speakers page here. I’m excited to see two HP Imaging and Printing execs speak. I’ve never heard VJ, who’s the executive VP for IPG, speak but I know he’s very excited about this space. Antonio Rodriguez was the founder of Tabblo, which HP acquired and is now the director of research for our initiatives in web printing. I’m very interested to hear what they both have to say.
The thing that I find so interesting about this summit is the caliber of the attendees. I love the conferences where all the startups hang out because there is so much energy and excitement but these conferences with the big boys at them are different. These are the people who buy the startups, these are the companies that take the cool new geek technology and put it in the hands of the everyday web user.
