In two days time, I’ll be @LeWeb 2009 along with other some 2.000 people. Quite a huge number of attendees for a Web event in Europe.
But what I want to stress, today, is some events in the agenda.
- Roundtable about mobile apps: mobile is and will be more and more a major way to access to Internet. In these days in Paris, I replaced any maps and info service through some apps on my iPhone (the interactive subway chart, Google maps, just to say a couple of them) and when looking for reference in a shop, me and the guy working there used it to find the info in few seconds. Clearly the adoption of these devices is changing faster then we think the world around us.
- Roundtable about platform: if we want to see a consistent growth of the Social Web, platforms must be open and interconnected. We are all part of several social networks and the need to share info and thoughts across platforms in an easy and fast way is crucial.
- Jeremiah Owyang consideration about the speed of the Web: when real-time is not enough fast. This is going to be a very interesting presentation about the Intention Web. Check Jeremiah’s anticipation here on his blog.
And a lot of conversation about monetization, yes, monetization not Roi. This is crucial if we want to seriously create sustainable business model and not squeeze money out of the pockets of our clients.
My expectation are very high as very high was my disappointment for last year conference.
The agenda seems more consistent and focused: I’ll keep you posted about.
