Moderator: Brad Burnham Partner Union Square Ventures

Hank Williams CEO, Kloudshare Conference Co-chair

Michael Cataldo CEO Cambridge Semantics

New data models built on the concept of freely connecting data objects are the foundation of the next generation of the Web, but more importantly, the next generation of data management. Also known as the graph data model, the metaphor offers a flexible framework that, among other things, has the potential to address what is arguably the biggest issue in enterprise IT, the "silo-ization" of data. This session will discuss the strategic issues and opportunities that arise in the context of leveraging a more flexible data model.

This session will provide an overview of the types of applications and tools that are available to extract operational value from text on the Web, in corporate documents, and elsewhere.

2:10pm–3:00pm: Monetizing Connected Data, Not Pages

Moderator: Bernard Lunn COO ReadWriteWeb

Luigi LoPresti Founder & CEO ONUS Consulting

Andraz Tori CTO Zemanta

Julie Nielsen Director of Client Strategy appssavvy

TechCrunch estimates that 50% of the ad revenue and content-based monetization are going to disappear in 2009. Moreover, most Web 2.0 startups have, failed to deliver alternative new business and revenue models. Reach and frequency ad models are still in the norm, but have reached the consumer saturation threshold. Consumer focus online has started to move from the center (a few good portals, big content sites) to the edge (niche content, blogs, content syndication, etc.). This makes it difficult for any but the largest websites to monetize their audiences independently. This session explores new, data-driven value creation models and techniques that can help bridge the monetization gap.

Moderator: Marta Strickland Manager Strategy Organic Inc

Brian Killen VP Business Development Unbound Technologies

Eric Wheeler CEO 33Across

Ro Choy Chief Revenue Officer RockYou

Social network popularity has proved that the social element is invaluable for users interacting with information. But the major social networks are not yet financially successful relative to their user bases. One reason for this is that after a few failed attempts, their revenue model is still page/content-based. In this session you will learn how to apply new people-centric approaches to monetization.

Moderator: Karen Teng VP of Engineering AdaptiveBlue

Mayank Bawa CEO Aster Data Systems

Ravi Krishnamurthy Chief Software Architect Kickfire Inc.

Increasing levels of data capture and new Web 3.0 data models such as graph databases, the social graph, etc., are creating new opportunities to extract value from data. Enormous computing power is often necessary to really make sense of it. Yet, building data centers capable of processing all that data efficiently can be prohibitively expensive. Cloud computing offers the ability to leverage dozens or even hundreds of servers on an hourly as-needed basis. In this session we will discuss technologies and strategies for using cloud computing for significant business advantage.

Oren Michels Co-Founder & CEO Mashery

Tristan Harris CEO Apture

Just as the "silo-ization" of data into many disconnected islands has made data management more costly and complex than necessary, so too has the "silo-ization" of applications. Mashups - applications that can draw data from multiple sources - are fundamentally changing what it means to be an application. It looks like this shift will have far-reaching implications across all of computing. This session will explore the current impact of the mashup and its likely future implications.
