Federated Media, O'Reilly Media and UBM TechWeb, co-producers of the Web 2.0 Summit, have announced new additions to the list of speakers who will take the stage at this year's event. The event is scheduled for October 17-19, 2011, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco.
Programme Chair, John Battelle, Executive Chairman of Federated Media and Tim O'Reilly, CEO of O'Reilly Media, have confirmed a line-up of industry thought leaders who will focus on this year's theme, 'The Data Frame.'
This year's event welcomes executives shaping today's social and consumer environments from companies like Facebook, Twitter, Zynga, foursquare, salesforce.com, Dell, Google, Yahoo!, Groupon, American Express, and more.
In its eighth year, Web 2.0 Summit spotlights 'The Data Frame,' analysing the impact of data to understand and discuss the future of the Web. The three day programme will feature companies and speakers examining the matrix of data and will include two new program elements: Pivots, which will present thematic five minute sessions that express new ideas extracted from data, and a complete absence of panels, in favour of more rapid fire presentations and one-on-one conversations.
Web 2.0 Summit is also announcing a new layer to the Web 2.0 Map which reflects the 'Points of Control' within the Internet economy. The new data layer will visualise the amount and types of data controlled by major internet players. Web 2.0 Summit's data layer sponsor, Nielsen, will be providing data, which will be presented in the form of cities and buildings on an updated image. The map will be released leading up to the event.
