“Expert”.. it is a term I can not stand.  Me, I learn something new everyday. I never claim to know it all. Heck, my wife will back me up on that. I am always talking to people, reading, watching and learning to keep up with all this new technology.

One way I do this is by going to conferences and one I am a fan of is the Web 2.0 Expo.

I know that in these tough economic times we are watching every dime, but I dig this conference. Yes, I said dig.

Let me tell you why in list form, as people like lists.

- As far as cost goes for something on this level, there are many different pricing options

- There are software companies, strategists, executives, mobile technology companies, leaders in web 2.0 industry right there for you to chat with. (they don’t bite either)

-Networking, Networking, Networking. I have made many long lasting relationships at events like this.

- This conference has great speakers like: Stowe Boyd , Maggie Fox, Christine Herron, Tara Hunt and Charlene Li plus lots more!

-Notice the speakers are from many different areas of Web 2.0/Social Media/New Media/ insert buzz term here

- Many different tracks to pick from like Mobile, Web, Marketing and Security

-Workshops

-The Expo floor, the best part of any conference where all the action is!

Okay that is my soapbox moment for now.. sorry.
