About This Event
This workshop is geared towards a broad audience including government employees, product managers, business strategists, CTOs, CIOs, marketing specialists, communication experts, technology experts and human-computer interaction specialists, but especially those who are web designers.
In the first half of the day Peter Merholz and Maggie Fox address the topic of Web 2.0 as a social media. They will cover the business rational for Web 2.0 development and provide motivation for development in this area. Many case studies will be reviewed.
In the second half of the day Mike Atyeo addresses more detailed issues such as designing and testing Web 2.0 applications, particularly highly interactive AJAX applications. The important issue of accessibility will be addressed by Derek Featherstone, an expert in this particular field.
The more structured part of the workshop will finish with a panel of our presenters. This will be an opportunity for participants to ask any final questions and for presenters to deliver key take-home messages.
Following the panel session, attendees who are interested will then participate in an informal "unconference". This will be an opportunity for attendees to talk some more with the presenters and with each other and unwind. The aim is for all attendees to leave the day with a clearer idea of how social media can benefit their organizations and to know how to make their great ideas become a reality.
