Welcome

The pace at which business is being moved to the web is accelerating. At the same time, new technologies such as web 2.0 are delivering richer and more usable web experiences – while creating greater complexity behind the scenes. At the convergence point are your customers – and they are more demanding, and less patient, than ever before. The Web Experience Forum was created to bring all the dimensions of the web experience under one roof. From technology, to global culture, to economics – you’ll come away with a fresh perspective on the web experience and how your business can profit from it.

Gain A Fresh Perspective

This October, presenters at the Web Experience Forum will focus on giving you a multi-disiplinary, multi-dimensional view of the web experience. With web experience counting more and more in the eyes of buyers, its never been more important to fully understand how you can create and deliver the best experience possible. The Web Experience Forum will bring both US and International perspectives to the program across a variety of industries.

The Web Experience Forum is your best opportunity in 2008 to:

  • Hear top thought leaders in web and user experience deliver actionable ideas on how to improve yours – and drive business results as well.
  • Stay ahead of the rapidly changing technology landscape of the web 2.0 ecosystem
