Here at IWR towers our events team have been keeping themselves busy launching two new conferences this year. The first, E-Publishing Innovation Forum, we blogged at a couple of weeks ago, this month sees the launch of Web 2.0 Strategies in London. Once again we’ll be blogging from there.

The event will examine how Web 2.0 is fundamentally changing the way organisations work, especially where their customers are concerned, the emphasis is on how communication and collaboration factor in.

The speakers lined up to thrash this train of thought out include Jeff Schick, IBM’s vice president for Social Computing Software, Artur Bergman, director of engineering at Wikia (described as a ‘hacker and technologist at large’) and Julie Meyer who you may have heard of as founder of First Tuesday the iconic networking forum for technology entrepreneurs.

The opening keynote will be held by Dion Hinchcliff, Editor-in-Chief, Social Computing Magazine, who will examine the strategic value of enterprise 2.0 including trends and the innovations happening in this area. The conference will be chaired by Euan Semple (a previous IWR Information Professional of the Year winner).

Other topics up for discussion include the strategic value of enterprise 2.0, how to get web 2.0 adopted by the business, mobile web 2.0, and using web 2.0 to foster advocacy and collaboration amongst employees.
