We all refer to Web 2.0 and have a sense for what that means to us. But many are starting to consider Web 3.0. Our own Dr. Satyam Priyadarshy will be speaking at the upcoming Web 3.0 Conference in mid October in Santa Clara, California. He will be on a panel discussing Knowledge Discovery from Semantic Metadata.

The focus of the conference is: “Web 3.0 Conference 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. What are the ways we can create more value for our businesses? How can we provide a more meaningful experience for users and customers? How can we have a positive impact on the world we live in? What tools and applications are right for a given project? How do we gather and focus data points to deliver relevant information? How can we increase conversation and collaboration?”
