Web 2.0 Expo Teams Up with DonorsChoose.org

Be sure to look for the $25 gift card from DonorsChoose.org in your badge holder when you check in at our Registration Desk. As part of our way of giving back to the community, we’ve teamed up with this great Web 2.0 charity to supply gift cards to every Web 2.0 Expo attendee.

DonorsChoose.org is an award-winning online charity. Public school teachers across the country post classroom project ideas, and citizen philanthropists choose which ones to fund. Redeem the gift card you receive on a classroom project that inspires you, and brings students a step closer to the learning they deserve. DonorsChoose.org delivers the materials to the school, and sends you photos and thank-you letters from the classroom you help.

Networking Ribbons

Add a networking ribbon (or two or three) to your badge and get conversations started.

Online Attendee Directory - See Who Else is Going

Use the online Attendee Directory to quickly and easily contact, meet, and network with other attendees before, during, and after the event. If you haven't joined the Attendee Directory, we encourage you to do so and get the conversation started with other Web 2.0 Expo-goers today.

Our Official Opening Party - Startup Showcase

New to our San Francisco show this year, Startup Showcase brings together 30 young startups, hundreds of potential users and a couple of high-profile investors. Web 2.0 Expo attendees and a panel of judges from the investor community will have 50 minutes to visit the demos and listen to the pitches. As they walk around, attendees will vote on their favorite demos. At the end of the hour, the judges will announce their top picks along with the audience favorite. These winning startups will then each give a pitch and have an on-stage conversation with the judges.
