Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco is (Still) On

The Web 2.0 conference at the Moscone center in San Francisco is still on, starting March 31 and continuing through the week until April 3rd.

Appropriately, the theme of this years conference is "The Power of Less." Despite whatever has happened to Web 2.0 (and arguably the outdated term that is Web 2.0) since the global economic downturn, the conference still promises to deliver the latest in web development and progress, or at least the promise of. Things aren't so bad, right? As Expo organizers promise, the conference is an opportunity to take advantage of what is only being envisioned now:

"Tomorrow's big ideas are quietly percolating now, in the aisles of major retailers, the back office of enterprises, and in the labs of passionate, independent-minded hackers. We'll explore the future potential of Web 2.0, so when this storm passes, you'll be ready."

Most of the lead-up to the conference so far has been in line with the theme. Compensating for the lack of on-stage presence will be entrepreneurs, movers and shakers on the floor. Sessions cover everything from the mobile web to social networking to running your business on a "recession diet."

Webmonkey will be there covering it. If you're around the area and ready to network registration is available on site. Check out the Web 2.0 Expo website for more information.
