Office 2.0 Conference 2008

The Office 2.0 Conference 2008 is just two months away, and it’s time for us to start working on it again. In pure IT|Redux fashion, the whole event will again be organized in 9 short weeks, with no staff, and in a paperless manner. Granted, we have two editions under our belt, and we pretty much know what works and what does not. So let’s do it again, and learn as much as we can along the way.

The conference will take place at the St. Regis Hotel, San Francisco on September 3-5. The format will be similar to the one used for the two previous editions, improved based lessons learned last year. Participants should expect a bit more users, a bit less vendors, a bit more fireside chats, a bit less panels, and the usual débauche of sleek high-tech gadgets that is our gathering’s trademark.

Our registration system is now live, powered by RegOnline, and integrated with Salesforce.com. It’s not very pretty right now, but we’ll add a nicer looking stylesheet when we find some time. Due to the fairly high cost of the mobile device we selected, the regular attendee pass has been set at $1,495, with an early bird pass available for $1,195 until July 31st, 2008. We also added a group discount of $100 per attendee for groups of 3 or more, and allocated 50 free media passes.
