VistaPrint never stops innovating its web experience
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
- Discover how other online brands are capitalizing on social communities and global opportunities to strengthen their businesses
- Network with your peers during unique hands-on problem solving sessions and social events.

Our registration fees are about $1 a minute and we offer a 25% group discount to enable you to provide this critical knowledge to others in your organization.
4. The web experience is global: With online communities stretching from pole to pole and millions of new users coming online every week, your web experience needs to be relevant everywhere. You’ll learn how brands, big and small, have met the challenge.
5. Gain a strategic edge going into 2009: We selected October deliberately; so you’ll be able apply what you learn at the Web Experience Forum immediately during your 2009 strategic planning processes.
