We will be sending out a detailed email next week but in the meantime we’d like to provide you some initial information.
What you need to know:
- Free parking in the ramp next to the Midtown Exchange Building (courtesy of Allina) for those attending the event. Bring your ticket in with you and we’ll validate it when you check in.
- Lunch will be provided to attendees free of charge.
- Caribou coffee drinks, breakfast options and snacks will be available for purchase in our conference space.
Important information about your ticket:
- Tickets to the conference are non-transferable – meaning you can’t give them to a friend.
- If you are unable to attend, please email us and we will release your ticket to someone else who needs one.
- Allina is a secure location and needs all names of attendees submitted prior to the event. Drop ins will not be admitted.
How you can give back:
- We are happy to announce we’ll be featuring the Read Indeed charity for the conference this year. Read Indeed is a 501c3 nonprofit literacy organization and the vision of Maria Keller, a book-loving 5th grader who wants to make the world a better place—one book at a time. Maria’s goal is to collect and distribute 1,000,000 books to needy children by the time she’s 18. She has been collecting and distributing books since she was 8 years old—touching the lives of thousands of children around the world.
- If you would like to bring new or gently used children’s books to the conference we can help Maria meet her goal!
Picture perfect:
- Mandy Dwyer of Glimpses of Soul Photography has volunteered to take a limited number of professional headshot photos for attendees during the conference!
- The cost will be $30 and Mandy will be donating all of the money to the charity.
- This was a popular offering last year and we are grateful Mandy has volunteered to do it for us this year!

Awesome idea, Tim. I think I have some cveatire ways we can use the badge. Let me check with my graphics folks. I am in contact with Marc Canter, Om Malik and some folks at AOL about trying to make this happen as well. Do you guys want to set up a mailing list, or something?

[...] In a pivoreus post, we traced the brewing discussion pertaining to a potential Widget Conference. Well, it seems that this is no longer a mere discussion. Dare Obasanjo, the accidental progenitor of the event, announced that Widgets Live will take place the same week as the Web 2.0 conference. The first ever conference dedicated to widgets, gadgets, and modules will take place on Monday, November 6, in San Francisco. The one-day conference will capture and summarize the emerging widget economy and allow developers, business leaders, and content producers to collaborate and better understand how they might participate in syndication at the edge of the network.
