Web 1.0 Summit
Wednesday October 5, 2005 from 7:00pm - 9:00pm
House of Shields
32 New Montgomery St.
San Francisco, California 94105 Get Directions

Sponsored by 43 Folders and the year 1998, with generous contributions from Adaptive Path, Mule Design, WordPress, Blogger, Flickr, and Central Desktop.

We will meet to discuss line breaks, spacer gifs, and the ability to launch links in a new browser window.

There will be beer.

Let’s make this summit more successful than the last one, please.


Proposed format for brief, non-primarily-drinking-and-socializing portion of the Conference:

  1. You sign up on a sheet to do your presentation
  2. I hold and manage a timer (duh)
  3. You have 2.0 minutes to make a case for your 1.0 technology or squirrely business model
  4. Whenever you say “monetize,” “font face,” or any of a variety of secret 1998 words, everyone drinks
  5. Repeat until a) 20 minutes, b) we get bored, or c) every person in the room completes a first round of funding

The Time and Place

We are officially a go for Wednesday October 5th at 7:00 pm at House of Shields on New Montgomery (about a block south of Market); it's quite near related conferences, coincidentally. HoS is a cozy little bar (esp. for the Financial District) that we are in some danger of overwhelming completely if this is as well-attended as it appears it might be. We'll be upstairs (steps in the back and to your right: listen for people yelling "Sell! SELL!" into StarTac flip phones)

There will be a few complimentary drink tickets, provided courtesy of our sponsors.

A/V (or, lack thereof)

Our A/V setup?if we’re lucky?will consist of a microphone and you.

Regrettably, we won’t have an easy way to run your awesome PowerPoint deck. Think: London Speaker’s Corner, but with HTML 3.2

Comments
We'll be opening our call for submissions soon. Start thinking about what you'll want to do.

You'll have exactly two minutes to make your presentation, and every time you say "paradigm" or "monetize," everyone takes a drink.

Please plan accordingly.

Dress code has not been completely settled, but important patterns are emerging. As much as possible please:

* "New Media Blue" shirt
* Gap khakis
* Ginormous cell phone (biggest phone wins a free beer)

I'd like to do a session on the controversy surrounding the pronunciation of ".gif". Guh-gif, or Jiff?

I'm so going to get in a fist-fight over that Jiff thing.

Posted 4 years ago
Will discussions include any theories that are outside of the box?

I hear they want to phase out the
tag in favor of some new box-like placement tag! Why must they ruin everything

I would like to do a presentation about paradigm shifts. Plus I want to have a single person launch party. You'll see me in the corner drinking Ketel 1 and talking about my exit strategy.

If I were there, I'd be the one with the Gophercon t-shirt drinking coffee in the corner out of my Thinking Machines mug.
