The Call for Proposals for the Web 2.0 Expo Berlin is now open. The conference will be held November 5-8th.
Just like at Web 2.0 Expo in SF, we are looking for speakers to cover development, design, test, webops, marketing, and business development topics. Here are some of the subjects on our minds right now:
- Web operations, theory and practice: What are the major players up to with their platforms and how do open source and independents play into “web as platform” and “web ops”?
- Global scalability: The Internet is global, your apps need to be global, and they need to scale.
- Rails & Django: Increased speed of development isn’t the only reason these are becoming so popular
- Going 2.0: How to turn your 1.0 business into a 2.0 masterpiece in less than six months.
- Viral marketing and community evangelism: Start a fire! Learn how to create a meme and let your users tell your story, without spending a fortune
- AJAX: Learn to use it to make your site more functional
- SEO & SEM: The science of measurable marketing. Find your keywords, and let your audience discover you, using search engines as the gateway.
- Blogging and Internet PR: The new way to launch a product or service?
- User-generated content: Tagging and ratings and blogging, oh MY!
- Syndication: Don’t be afraid of spreading your content across the Web. It’s free advertising; if it’s good and adds value, your users will come find you.
- Location: Maps and location are now commodities. How can it add value to your app?
- Social networks: Are commonplace–where are they going next? Identity: Distributed identity is on the rise. What should you support?
- Data: The importance of data is growing. How can you protect and respect your users by giving them a way out?
- Mobile: Let your customers get your site from anywhere.
- Rich Internet Applications: AIR, SilverLight, XUL — Which one to choose?
