What's being talked about?
The New Web is already here, and the early adopters have begun to put it to work. The sooner your organisation understands what it is, what's possible and what's happening today, the sooner you can pursue the opportunities and secure competitive advantage. This is a unique event bringing together the key players in the technology industry which will help us to discover new and better ways to do business, run our countries, and lead fulfilling and sustainable lives via the intelligent, innovative and diligent development of the New Web.  A host of experts including Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, will take you through some of the key developments at the cutting edge of the Web and debate how society and business can profit from the new Web.

Agenda topics include:

Unlocking the Value in Open Data
Open data is a term describing the philosophy and act of making certain data freely available to everyone, without restrictions from copyright, patents or other control mechanisms. The panel debates the wider benefits of organisations beginning to open their data.

Open for Business
What further opportunities and challenges, beyond today's norms, will the Web hold for business? The panel discusses the opportunities and threats which increasing web openness and mobility will present to agile businesses.

Driving Business Success through Social Analytics
Leading organisations listen actively to the social Web for clues about their performance and reputation; and that of their competitors. Moreover, they're adept at translating this intelligence into competitive advantage. The panel reviews best practice to date, and takes a look at what's expected in the next year or two.

Is every Company now a Media Company?
The media has always played a role in connecting organisations with stakeholders, but how have new media and disintermediation changed this landscape? The panel discusses social media, citizen journalism, brand journalism, and the ramification of device convergence and divergence – PCs, netbooks, mobiles, smartphones, TVs and tablets.
