Web 2.0 Summit October 20–22, 2009 The Westin Hotel Market Street San Francisco, CA www.web2summit.com Dear Janetti, I'm writing to you with an update on the program at Web 2.0 Summit. We've got a growing and stellar lineup of industry titans, nimble startups, and 'out of the box' thinkers joining the Web Squared conversation this year. Here's an overview of the three-day program you don't want to miss out on: Day one covers broad ground — opening with an in-depth conversation with Brian Roberts, Chairman and CEO of Comcast — and moving into a series of powerful High Order Bits and discussions around government policy and healthcare. Then Jeff Immelt, Chairman and CEO of GE, will share his thoughts before our dinner Q&A session with maverick Mark Cuban, hosted by ModernMom CEO and Dancing with the Stars champion Brooke Burke (Mark had his own stint on Dancing With the Stars, as you may recall...). After kicking off with morning workshops, day two features insightful one-on-one conversations with Carol Bartz, CEO of Yahoo!, and Qi Lu, President at Microsoft, who's leading the recently announced partnership between the two companies. Later in the day, media gurus will discuss the future of their industry, including Chairman Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. of the New York Times, CEO Dan Rosensweig of RedOctane, and CEO Richard Rosenblatt of Demand Media. Mid-day we'll check in with Facebook's Sheryl Sandberg, then launch our new High Order Ignite program — a session of dynamic, rapid-fire presentations that highlight ground-breaking and viable technologies that may well change the world. After a focused session on sensor and augmented reality applications, we'll wrap up the day with Twitter CEO Evan Williams. Last, but definitely not least, our third day will include conversations with the CEOs of Intel, Adobe, AOL, and the head of digital for Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation. We're also bringing back our famed Teen Panel, where we'll hear from the generation that will most shape the future success or failure of our industry's efforts. And in a manner more fitting than we could have planned, we'll close our conference with the man who started it all — Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web. And those are just the highlights. Let's not forget the slew of new speakers we've added including: Erin McKean, CEO of Wordnik. (An API for language? Why not?!) Sundar Pichai, VP at Google. (Responsible for Chrome OS, Google's pointed response to Windows.) Steve Schneider, Program Director at WestEd. (Walking the talk, Steve has plans to launch the first-ever standard for technology literacy across the U.S. by 2012.) Cynthia Warner, President of Sapphire Energy. (If Sapphire's biofuel plans scale, we have reason for hope in the world of energy.) Thanks for your interest in the Web 2.0 Summit, and I look forward to seeing you October 20-22 at the Westin San Francisco!
