The Event for People Who Love the Web

This is Not Your Ordinary Web Conference.

It’s About People. This is an afternoon of conversation and mingling with people you want to know. Industry thought leaders talk with you, not at you. Pick their brains as they share short talks full of high-quality, meaningful information.

So Rub Some Elbows. Interact with fellow attendees and make a new friend you’re excited to meet again and again. No fluff, no ego—just great discussions and the chance to network with people like you. People who understand the Web. People who get it.

Keynote Speakers

	Martin Ringlein CEO of nvite and Presidential Innovation Fellow Launch Lessons — Lessons learned from fun to funding from someone who has been hired, fired and acquired on everything from going freelance full-time to starting a design agency to launching a tech startup. A discussion on building a business, a culture and a community.
	Greg Hoy CEO of Happy Cog and Bureau of Digital Collaborate Like A Craft Brewer — Craft brewers generally aren’t precious about all of their secrets, because it makes no sense to be. They purposefully work together, because they realize the collective brainpower they harness and put into action will serve to increase their market share and tip the scales more quickly than going it alone.

What to Expect

Two keynote speakers and a dozen thought leaders bring the latest and greatest of the Web that’s relevant to you. They’ll be speaking but also leading group discussions and mingling with you.

No tracks, no breakout rooms. Settle in for an afternoon with your tribe. Lean, fast-paced, and designed to spur conversation, you’ll leave Web Afternoon inspired and informed. That’s how ideas are born.

We minimize the fluff to focus on providing quality content from people in the know, at a price you can afford. Your ticket to Web Afternoon is a vote of confidence in the community you love.

Every penny from our events goes straight back to help local groups and meet-ups you love. We’ve generated thousands of dollars so far for Web- and technology-focused groups, and we’re just getting started.
