Announcing FOWA Expo – London October 2007
I’m really excited to say that we’re launching The Future of Web Apps Expo in October 2007 in London!
Here are some quick facts:
- Registration opens June 11th – If the last three events are any indication, it’ll sell out quickly
- Three new tracks: 1) Development 2) Business/Marketing 3) Showcase. We felt that the audience at FOWA was getting more diverse and a single track event wasn’t always relevant to all of our attendees.
- We’ve invited two amazing conference chairpersons: Simon Willison (Development Track) and Brian Oberkirch (Business/Marketing Track). They’re going to help us create a presentation lineup that you won’t want to miss.
- We’re adding an expo. We want to give you a chance to meet potentially valuable suppliers and get a good view on what’s going on the industry. An expo is a great way to do this. Early bird Expo seats are only £5!
- We’ve switched to a really exciting new venue! The event sold out and the old venue was jam-packed, so we decided it was time to give everyone a bit more space.

We’re so excited! For more info, please head over to the new FOWA blog.
Brian and Simon are going to be blogging about their choice of speakers on the blog, so please participate in that conversation and let us know your thoughts.

We're big fans of

Make sure to post some more screenshots about preparations and stuff. Would be nice to have a bit of insight into Carson Systems.

Woohoo! Sounds great. I’m hoping I can be there, as I had such a great time at FOWD!

@ Fergus – I think I’m actually part Irish, so we should give you a discount. However, in the interest of fairness, we probably won’t ;)

Looks like a great venue, Ryan — this will be *the* UK web event, I’m sure. Will the pricing be similar to previous years? That’s one thing I associate with the events your team puts together — great events at affordable prices.
Looking forward to further details; have been to both London FOWAs (‘06,’07), and FOWD :)

It’s great that you got a new, bigger venue! I’ll set my automatic reminder right away! Forget the Irish, how about giving some discount to the Chinese…not the 1.3 billion of us, but just to one, me? :-)

Sounds really great. Sure hope I can be there.

Enough with the racist discounts, it should be for all of the carsonified readers. :)

Hey Greg,
Sorry for the delay. We’re tying up a few loose ends. Should be on Thursday, the 14th.
Cheers,
Ryan

Cunning indeed! In Firefox under Gutsy the “accept T&C” tick box is hidden under the SignUp button!
That means one of two things:
1) I probably shouldn’t have found it and something bad is going to happen to me and my credit card.
2) You’re trying to filter out people who pass themselves off as geeks.
;o)
(P.S. It works in IE under Wine and Windows…so I guess most people won’t notice this… A valuable lesson in the problems of being _too_ geeky methinks)
