INTERACTIVE WORKSHOP

The Risks of Web 2.0

A new revolution of rising expectations triggered by widespread use of the World Wide Web is disrupting conventional media, marketing and business models. Top-down communications channels are being overwhelmed by the many-to-many messaging paradigms of blogs, user-generated content, consumer-generated media, word of mouth marketing and the "wisdom of the crowd" loosely defined as "Web 2.0."

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Corporate executives, marketing and public relations directors, brand managers, strategic planners

Publishers, editors, media executives, retailers and ecommerce managers, web developers

Investors, policymakers, regulators, privacy experts, consumer advocates

Insurers, risk managers, administrators

How commercially important are the people on the Internet who blog, post YouTube videos, run discussion forums and live through on-line social networks? How much effort should you spend on Facebook, MySpace and Second Life? What's the risk of your brand showing up on Digg and Reddit or finding yourcompanynamesucks.com? Is your web site competitive ... visually, interactively, conversationally? And how disruptive are the ideas flowing through the 21st Century web to the evolution of media, technology, business and society?

IN3's The Risks of Web 2.0 Workshop examines the developing Internet landscape, outlines the key developments and issues, and provides a set of conceptual tools to help think through the impact -- good and bad -- of Web 2.0. Participants are encouraged to see past the overheated claims of interested Web 2.0 players, measure the commercial and cultural values of social networks, and chart their own business strategies for succeeding in the new on-line environment.
