This year we’re all trying to do more with less, and there’s a lot of potential in that concept. And in an effort to celebrate the power of less Web 2.0 Expo presents an insightful, meaningful and real-world conference program to help you meet the demands in your business today.

See the conference session schedule. Now you’ll know when all the great sessions are actually going to happen - might help if you can’t attend across the entire 4 days of our show.

Also, if you’re registering for an expo pass please note that you can attend the sponsored sessions, keynotes, Web2Open (our unconference), the booth crawl and Launch Pad (our startup program which we’ll announce details to next week).

More event updates to come.
