Publisher O'Reilly Media, US, and TechWeb, co-producers of the Web 2.0 Summit, have sought help in choosing three charities that embody the spirit of Web Squared to partner with for this year's Web 2.0 Summit. The summit is slated for October 20-22, 2009, at the Westin Market Street in San Francisco. Proposals are being accepted at the Web 2.0 Summit Facebook page at http://bit.ly/W2Charities. Deadline for submissions is September 7.
Web Squared, this year's event theme and the title of the white paper by Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle, addresses the evolution of the web from the emergence of Web 2.0 to its current and future state. The authors see a new direction for the web, one that opens new business opportunities and new possibilities for impacting the world's most pressing problems. Web 2.0 Summit is therefore looking for charity organisations that are innovative and affecting change on a broad scale as partners for this year's big event.
Moderated by Battelle of Federated Media and O'Reilly, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Media Inc., the event will host various experts discussing how the web is evolving according to Web Squared. Now in its sixth year, the invitation-only event investigates how the web is making business more efficient, culture more vibrant, and society more tolerant. Attendance at the summit is limited to maintain an intimate setting and foster dialogue among participants.
