Why Attend Fall 2009?

The mammoth sized telecom industry - including cellular - is in the process of being re-written. You either stand on the side to be written into the past or instead join with the growing community to write the future.

Opportunities to profit from the radical restructuring and in accelerating the development of how humanity connects, communicates and collaborates have never been so great.

Opportunity Doesn't Always Knock. Sometimes It Calls.

The Emerging Communications (eComm) Conference & Awards was created to promote and accelerate communications innovation.

Telecom, mobile and to a lesser extent, Internet based communications, had been innovation stagnant for far too long. Yet the opportunities for innovation had never been greater. Those opportunities are only going to grow as drastic changes further impact the multi-trillion dollar a year telecom industry. Changes include:

* Telecom is becoming software
* Today's model of the telephony and SMS cash-cows will significantly dry up long-term
* "Phones" are becoming general purpose always-on computers
* A march is underway to change how spectrum is allocated and utilised
* Applications innovation is being democratised
* The media industry is converging with personal communications
* Internet-style ecosystems are starting to pressurise the traditional value chain
* Search engines and computer manufactures are encroaching into the space
* App downloads; media content and even communication streams are increasingly routing-around operator's billing systems
* The telecom kingdom is fragmenting daily.

There is not a migratory way from where we are to the future; this means unprecedented opportunity for those ahead-of-the-curve.

The debut San Francisco Spring 2008 conference broke a lot of new ground and created a forum attracting 300 top influencer's and 80 speakers from 15 countries. San Francisco Spring 2009 built upon that foundation with world-class speakers and a 25% increase in attendees. Amsterdam Fall 2009 is the debut European event and promises to further cement the community.

Also, the conference works the other way around as well, giving the funds and investors a chance to scout the potentials of the local Web community by checking the existing and upcoming projects.

Thanks to the speakers and attendees, this conference will pose many questions but also provide many answers. Web.Start aims to mark a beginning of the formation of a new generation of successful Web projects in the region, as well as creating a new industry. Web.Start conference — the future has begun!

What are the topics of Web.Start?

Web.Start lasts for two days, which are divided into a Tech.Day and a Biz.Day.

The focus of Tech.Day is, as the name implies, various technology topics related to Web development. More specifically, this includes topics on server-side Web development, client-side Web development, mobile technologies and other related issues.

The Biz.Day focuses on business side of the Web — from more general e-business, marketing and managerial topics to especially issues related to starting a Web business, such as business planning, investments etc.

Besides the main presentatios and keynotes, Web.Start also hosts brief, 10-minutes presentations from interesting Web startups from the region, and there are also separate rooms available for more private ad-hoc meetings.

Who will find Web.Start interesting?

This conference primarily caters to companies and individuals that participate — or intend to participate — in production or funding of Web projects in the region, regardless of their local or global market focus.

Besides being a place where both sides will get relevant first-hand information this conference will be a place for networking and contacts, both for entrepreneurs and investors.

Who will participate at Web.Start?

The official program includes experts from various fields: developers, managers, entrepreneurs, designers, advisors, financiers etc. Web.Start aims to offer something interesting for everyone, while staying firmly focused to starting, funding and managing the Web startup projects. You may find the list of speakers and topics at the official Web site of the conference.

What do we expect of Web.Start?

Above all, we wish to raise the awareness of the business and technical possibilities in the area of Web startups, as well as help Web entrepreneurs to present their products to a wide audience, as well as potential partners and entrepreneurs.

We hope that Web.Start will make possible a flow of knowledge and information as well as networking between Web entrepreneurs and investors, and ultimately that this conference will lead to some new projects and success stories in Croatia and the region.
