Webcom Montreal: Mastering The Web In The 2.0 Era
Montreal – Understanding and mastering the internet in the 2.0 era, particularly the future of the media in this context, is the theme of the seventh annual International webcom Montreal conference on October 22 at the ICAO head office building (Maison de l’OACI).
In addition to the traditional webcom sessions (Enterprise 2.0, Marketing 2.0 and Solutions 2.0), a special session dedicated to the future of the media in the 2.0 era will be added. Montreal will host a number of local and international guest speakers, including John Temple, president and editor of the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News, who will share the lessons he learned from his newspaper’s failure to adapt to the arrival of new information technology. Ludovic Blecher, editor-in-chief of liberation.fr, and Patrick Pierra, co-president and CEO of Branchez-vous, will take part in a panel discussion on new business models for the media and their future. Last but not least, Shel Holtz, found of Holtz Communication + Technology, will discuss tactics for transparency and the value of access to information in business. In all, over 40 speakers and leaders from Quebec’s business communications, web marketing and e-business sectors will present conferences, case studies, training sessions and debates on the conference sessions’ four concurrent themes.
“webcom Montreal provides a wide range of opportunities for participants to learn, dialogue, participate and network,” says conference producer Michel Chioini. “The last time the conference was held, we hosted 575 participants and we’re expecting to beat that record this fall.”
