Web2Open
Web2Open is Web 2.0 Expo’s unconference – a free, community-driven event where you can connect with other participants to discuss Web 2.0 topics and questions. As an unconference, Web2Open lets attendees create sessions using an onsite grid, and it emphasizes participation and conversation over presentations.
Hybrid Sessions – We’re picking three sessions in the main conference track that will be open to all Web2Open attendees. Then we’re following those presentations with discussions in the Web2Open.
