Guess many folks didn’t realize you have the option to attend Web 2.0 Expo Europe for 13.
With the Expo Hall pass you get access to all of this:
- Expo Hall over two days
- Our opening reception party on 21 Oktober
- Keynotes
- Startup Ignite
- Use of our Community Lounge (for private and group meetings)
- Sponsored sessions including 2 workshops on Tuesday afternoon (13:00 - 16:00)
If you’re eager to be a part of the event - come take a stroll through our beautiful, cultural and historic BCC hall- mingle with other attendees, network, see great Web 2.0 tools and companies, and get inspired by our keynotes.
Use this code “webeu08gr104″ at online registration for 35% discount off the 20 Expo Pass … and get all this for a whopping 13. Not a bad deal, eh?
The 3rd annual BarCamp Berlin will take place 18-19 Oktober, the weekend before Web 2.0 Expo Europe.
BarCamp is a giant unconference, a conference that self-organizes sessions and content on-site. There are no pre-scheduled talks but in the truest sense of crowdsourcing, sessions are proposed and voted on amongst the peers in attendance.
Typically Expo holds an “official unconference” at every show, but for Web 2.0 Expo Europe we collaborated with BarCamp Berlin to BE our official unconference.
And today I got word that there were 20 spots available for international guests. What does that mean? Here are examples:
Germans living in the UK - OK
Americans living in Germany - Not OK
There will be 700 plus people attending this weekend event and I’ll personally be volunteering at registration on Saturday morning to do some bleary-eyed meet and greeting. If you’re planning to come into town for Web 2.0 Expo Europe - this might be a great way to mingle and geek out beforehand.
Oh, and they are throwing a welcome party Friday night for registrants… maybe a good incentive?
Setting up an event is A LOT of work - un or real conference. BarCamp organizers around the world create this event for their community, in exchange for goodwill. It’s an honorable job. Tobias Kaufmann, one of the ten BarCamp Berlin3 organizers, and I were debating if we should hold a session on conference organizing - similarities, differences, challenges… we’ll work on the concept a bit more. Or maybe we can do a session on Community Management?
You’ll have to attend to see what we settle on. Hopefully we’ll see you there

The early registration rates will run through Monday so if you haven’t gotten your conference tickets yet - you should!
Be sure to also take advantage of our conference hotel rates as rooms are getting booked up quickly in the city.
I’ve been working on the programming team since the first advisory board meeting way back in February. The conference content - speakers and topics - are amazing. If the schedule is too intimidating for you or you haven’t quite found what it is you’re looking for - leave a comment so I can help direct you to what you want.
Personal favorites on the schedule I’m hungry to attend are:
* Online Customer Communities that Connect and Thrive: Creating the Right Mix of Purpose, Passion, People, and Platforms - as a new community manager, I’m excited to engage with Lois Kelly, a women with over a decade of experience in social media consulting.
* Starting up in Silicon Alley featuring two of our advisory board members Nate Westheimer and Karin Klein, alongside CEO of Alley Corp (owners of Silicon Alley Insider) Kevin Ryan. Nate happens to be running our Web2Open event and there will be a follow up session in the Open rooms.
* Web 2.0 and the Reinvention of Marketing and PR presented by Brian Solis
* Disruption in the Music Industry with iLike, MySpace Records and Crush Management
* From Modern Times to Open Times: Best Buy BlueShirt Nation Case Study co-presented by Peter Hirshberg of Technorati / The Conversation Group and the VP of Internet Strategy at Best Buy
There are so many other great sessions… but this is where I’ll start
