WeMedia and FOWA

Posted by Brian Reich on Feb 11, 2009 in We Media Miami 2009 | 0 comments

We are not the only group smart enough to host a discussion with really smart people about the future of media and technology in Miami later this month. Our friends at FOWA – the Future of Web Apps – have put together a big conference at the Adrienne Arsht centre in Miami on 23rd & 24th February. And, they have offered a discount for WeMedia community members and conference attendees who register to attend (just register and tell them WeMedia sent you – using the code F0WA-wmd).

What is FOWA all about?

FOWA is two full days of discussions about the most successful web technologies and business trends of the future along with a chance to be up close and personal with industry pioneers at the workshops, and not forgetting the FOWA parties. Confirmed speakers so far include:

- Daniel Burka (Digg/Pownce)
- Jason Fried (37signals)
- Joel Spolsky (Joel on Software)
- Gary Vaynerchuk (WinelibraryTV)
- Kristina Halvorson (Brain Traffic)
- Chris Messina (Citizen Agency)
- David Recordon (SixApart)
- Francisco Tolmasky (280 North)
If you plan to attend WeMedia, I hope you will consider spending a few extra days in Miami and drop in FOWA. It promises to be quite an interesting event. More information at http://events.carsonified.com/fowa/2009/miami/.
