In the beginning Chang W. Kim created the idea. The idea was "hey, there's something big happening with the Web in Asia. Let's gather together and talk about it."
So those with interests started talking about it and planning for an event. The idea grew bigger and bigger even to be associated with one of the largest business conferences in Asia: World Knowledge Forum. It's Open Web Asia '08!
Open Web Asia '08 will be a very unique opporunity for you. There's no other "Asian Web" conference. But, you know, as I've been saying time after time on TechnoKimchi, we really gotta notice special things happening out here. And let's talk about it!
We got a great lineup of speakers and some fun/social events prepared as well. You can see more details about the conference on Web 2.0 Asia and on the homepage. For media purpose, you can also download the press release (PDF version) here. Just for your information, I'm scraping the basic info about the conference below. ("scraping" means copying and pasting in Korean :) )
I'm thoroughly convinced that you're gonna love this conference. Don't forget to visit the registration page if you're interested!
disclaimer: I'm one of the organizers for the event :)
