Hi guys, I couldn't find a party list for the Web 2.0 Expo, so I created one here: http://en.xihalife.com/b/juhani/1540
Complete with Google Calendar links. Hope to see you in San Francisco!
Thanks to everyone at WebMission for the brilliant opportunity. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it, although Jack Fairhall from Kwiqq will be attending.
All the best!
What is more important? Buying my first Mac or first trip to Silicon Valley? Both would not have happened this soon if it was not for webmission08.
On a more serious note: I have decided to focus on the next www.nwstartup20.co.uk (Manchester - UK) event on:
1st half - the importance of Silicon Valley - Webmission08 + DemoFall - experience of startups
2nd half - investment readiness - panel discussion with VCs and entrepreneurs
This will be held in May 08. Do let me know if anyone wants a speaker slot. Event runs from 6:30/7pm to 9pm and then move to local bar for networking till early hours.
Looking forward to it. UK T&I already providing great support, and the access to WebExpo is a big bonus.
