Ignite Web 2.0 Expo SF (Sponsored by .CO)
If you had five minutes on stage what would you say? What if you only got 20 slides and they rotated automatically after 15 seconds? See what happens at our official kick-off event.

Birds of a Feather Sessions (BoFs)
Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions provide face to face exposure to those interested in the same projects and concepts. BoFs can be organized for individual projects or broader topics, but they are entirely up to you. We post your topic online and onsite and provide the space and time. You provide the engaging topic. These happen throughout the week – see the BoF page to learn more.
