An ISOC-DC Event
New Business Models for the New Net
Monday, Nov. 16, 2009, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
ICC Auditorium, Georgetown University School of Foreign Service
37th & O Sts. N.W., Washington, DC
One-to-one communication – email – dominated the early Internet. Web technology issued in a new Net era of one-to-many communication, where a single Web server could broadcast information to millions. Now as the next-generation or “New” Net unfolds, users around the world are tapping into many sources and platforms – social media, vast databases, cloud computing, intricate mobile devices, storage systems, Web 2.0 – to collaborate many-to-many, creating entirely new Net-based entities.
But can you make money that way?
Join us for an informal, lively conversation on the new business models arising on the next-generation Net and whether these models will finally begin to generate the revenue so many Net investors have predicted for so long.
Leading the discussion:
- Kurt Baumann, CEO, 3Sixty Enterprises, www.3SixtyWeb.com, and former Angel/Venture
- Mark Potts, CEO and co-founder, Growthspur, www.growthspur.com
- David Johnson, Senior Resident Fellow and expert on the law of electronic commerce, Center for Democracy and Technology, www.cdt.org
- Wesley Kaplow, VP, Network Solutions and CTO, Polar Star Consulting, www.polarstarconsulting.com
Graeme Browning, author of Electronic Democracy: Using the Internet to Transform American Politics, and ISOC-DC Governing Council member, will moderate.
