Online Social Network Conference 2005

Here comes Online Social Network Conference 2005 (OSN2005), Feb 9-23.

As they say in the website,

"OSN2005 will be a summit for all those interested in working with social networking processes, tools, and media. In addition to attending many workshops, panels, and presentations by leading experts and practitioners, attendees will have the opportunity to be part of a community with a significant role in defining the future direction of online social networking. If you want to help shape this industry, come to OSN2005!

"During the OSN2005 summit we will co-create and publish a manifesto describing what we want and need from online social networking tools. What are the key criteria for choosing and assessing OSN products and services? What gaps exist in currently available software and related tools? What needs to happen before it's common knowledge that OSN products and services can deliver significant value? What are the most promising developments in the OSN industry?

"Attendees will be invited to participate in a series of focus groups to provide feedback on current OSN technology and articulate specific suggestions for future features and developments. A series of White papers based on these focus groups will be shared with venture investors who want to know where to place their bets in this industry.

"Join Howard Rheingold, Lisa Kimball, Joi Ito, and a host of online social network experts to:

  • Exchange ideas with experienced pioneers and leading thinkers in OSN development
  • Gain insights in making better use of social capital, successful collaboration online, and efficient creation and management of knowledge capital
  • See where social software stands today and where it's going in the future
  • Make contact with leading solution providers
"Anyone involved in communicating or collaborating online should register today for Online Social Networks 2005."

Feb 1 is the last day you can register for $35, after which registration costs $50.
