Web 2.0 Expo San Francisco Wrap-Up

Posted: 14 May 2010 11:18 AM PDT

Last week some of the OpenSRS team headed out to San Francisco to attend the Web 2.0 Expo. This was a new experience for OpenSRS – it was our first time sponsoring this show, and we were able to meet a lot of new folks in the social media space. It was great to converse with people who hadn’t considered (or hadn’t explored fully) adding domain sales to their business. It was fun to introduce ourselves, and explain what we do at OpenSRS.

When we weren’t at the booth talking to the large crowds of people in the exhibition hall, we dropped into some of the great sessions going on at the Expo. Between the four different ‘tracks’: Design & User Experience, Social Media Marketing, Strategy & Business Models, and Development, there was a wealth of knowledge, and something for everyone. There were also some influential keynote speakers from companies such as I Can Has Cheezburger, Smule, and TED Conferences.

Q&A with Ken after his session
The Web 2.0 Expo was also exciting for us because in our sponsored session Ken Schafer, EVP Products for OpenSRS, presented for the first time “My Name is URL – Namespaces & Revenue Models”. This presentation looked at the importance of namespaces as online identities, and encouraged Web 2.0 companies to consider unique and meaningful namespaces as an innovative way to enhance user experience and increase revenue. This session was so well-received that we are repeating it in an upcoming webinar on May 27th! We’d love to have you join us if you missed our presentation or wanted to invite some of your other team members.

Our OpenSRS Service Guy also made an appearance – he was the hottest swag giveaway of the show! There are some pictures of him on Flickr, and we expect many more to pop up over the next while as the attendees post their photos.

So we’d like to thank everyone that we met at the Expo, as well as everyone that was involved in helping make Web 2.0 Expo a great success for us. We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did!
