Upcoming Corante Event - Symposium on Social Architecture
When it comes to true thought leaders, there are few blogs (or traditional sites, for that matter) that can match the intellectual talent assembled within Corante's network of domain experts. As a matter of fact, Corante was the world's first blog media company.
So it shouldn't come as a surprise that Corante would be teaming up with the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School to bring the first of what will be many Corante "events" to fruition. The Symposium on Social Architecture will take place November 14-15, and cover issues ranging from The Landscape of the Social Web, to Hurricane Katrina and Recovery 2.0, to how the Social Web will change the media and everything in between. It'll be two days of interactive discussions on great topics with people you know like Stowe Boyd, Marc Canter, Mary Hodder, Jeff Jarvis, David Weinberger, Nancy White, Liz Lawley and more.
From the Symposium's program:
The Symposium will investigate the emerging social architecture platform -- the convergence of social media and social computing -- that is a critical element of the next generation Web. We hope to explore the implications of technologies and their application, such as the critical role of search tools, and the social infrastructure of links,tags, and cross-references created by human writers and readers.
Sounds cool, huh? If you're interested, November is a GREAT TIME to come to Boston--not too cold, and lots of pretty leaves ;)
The Web's Next Generation is getting a lot of attention with the Web 2.0 conference kicking off later this week. Corante's Stowe Boyd gives his interpretation of Web's version 2 here.
