Main Meetings AG's Office -
Computer Safety Issues MARK
T. HOOPS addresses late breaking issues from the New York State
Attorney General's Office. His talks have run the gamut from identity theft to online predators and every conceivable scam in between. Mark's ability to liven up an audience with tear-laughing interaction does in no way take away from the seriousness of his message. This is one speaker you will not want to miss!

Web 2.0 Expo
was launched to connect the builders of the web with the brightest
minds, hottest ideas, and most valuable tools - and with each
other. New York has long been where the world's biggest industries
go online, and as Web 2.0 grows up and gets serious, the time is
right to convene the East Coast web communities under the umbrella
of the next generation web. It's time to come together to learn,
share and network. And it's time to celebrate the size, power, and
innovation of the East Coast web industry.
Web 2.0 Expo is for the builders of the next generation web: designers, developers, entrepreneurs, marketers, business strategists, and venture capitalists, people who have experiences to share and a passion for learning - the hot new thing, lessons from failures, innovations and inspirations, and the practical applications of all of the above. If you are interested in attending Web 2.0 Expo New York this fall (Sept 16-19), you can get a code for a free pass in the members section of our website.
