IDC Asia/Pacific Web 2.0 Conference - Speaking there, See you!

June 21st, 2008

Hey everyone! I’ll be speaking at the IDC Asia/Pacific Web 2.0 Conference next week.

My topic will be about the Web 2.0 landscape in Asia. The conference is pretty high-profile with the attendees mainly being CXOs ad information technology managers.

From the list of signups, it does seem as though Web 2.0 is really getting into the corporate meme as more executives are beginning to have the idea sink in that Web2 is here to stay and while there are many opportunities, there will also be many threats.

Nothing too insurmountable though :)

It’s not easy to prepare for a bunch of seasoned execs. The topic is just broad. With just 30 minutes to speak, I’ll probably have to laser speed my way through it. But I’ll make it fun.

I personally don’t like to sit through boring lectures so I’ll crack my head to make sure no one falls asleep!

In early April, I flew up to Hong Kong to speak to some corporate head-honchos about Facebook. The questions they shoot are definitely not the easy peasy kind but it was excellent opportunity to train up.

I live by the philosophy that the harder it is the better. The more I can stretch myself the better. Otherwise, no fun la!

    Dude,

    Have a great time man, not everyone has an opportunity like that. Just remember to do up great presentation materials and practice. You’ll do fine man.

    Damn these conferences that require you to pay $250 to attend though. Like Bluesky Festival too. $180… Else I would be there to cover those events on my blog.

    They have got to make these events more accessible to poor entrepreneurs. Haha.
