Web 2.0 Expo New York offers a wide variety of ways to network. Along with events like Web2Open and our BoFs, we’re providing you with an online social network to set up connections and meetings before the conference even begins.

Our Attendee Directory includes typical social network features such as a personal profile and ability to integrate your Twitter feed, but is restricted to those going to Web 2.0 Expo New York, including Expo Hall Only pass holders. (To sign in, go to our home page and click on the far right tab called “Your Account.” You’ll be prompted with instructions from there.)

Once signed in, you can search for other conference goers in the Networking tab according to name, company, or occupation (ex: “community manager”). You can send messages to others, add colleagues as contacts, and send a request to someone “you’d like to meet” (this option will appear next to their name in the search results on the Networking tab). Whenever you send a message or request to another attendee, a notification will be sent to their email. To ensure that you receive these alerts yourself, please check your spam settings to make sure you’re not blocking us out.

When signed in to the Attendee Directory, you’re also able to comment on session pages. Post your questions or ideas for the speakers or others to think about. This is a great way to help direct the discussion before the event occurs.

We look forward to seeing you in New York!
