More than 450 submissions from industry experts were received this year for consideration, nearly doubling last year's call for speakers' response. As the agenda for the Enterprise 2.0 Conference builds over the coming weeks, this year's event is rich in customer case studies of companies at the forefront of adopting Enterprise 2.0 into their business. The event will cover key topics including social networking applications, enterprise blogging and microblogging, wikis and team collaboration applications, unified communications, enterprise search, software as a service, social media and enterprise mobility.

"Enterprise 2.0 is the largest gathering of people ready to challenge conventional thinking on the ways organizations communicate, share information and stay competitive in the market," said Steve Wylie, General Manager, Enterprise 2.0 Conference. "Now, more than ever, in a business climate with limited budgets and stretched resources, Enterprise 2.0 technologies supply solutions on how to do more with less and gain a competitive advantage through increased information sharing and collaboration."

As a result of a highly successful "Evening in the Cloud" program last year, cloud computing will be a focus area for this year's Enterprise 2.0 Conference. The event will offer an in-depth full-day tutorial outlining the technical frameworks and processes needed to run IT in the Cloud, in addition to the return of "Evening in the Cloud," hosted by David Berlind. The Enterprise 2.0 Conference also offers visionary keynotes, practitioner case studies, hands-on demos of top 2.0 tools and technologies in the Sponsor Pavilion, and a Launch Pad featuring innovative start-up companies changing today's enterprise landscape. Event sponsors include Microsoft, IBM, Awareness, EMC, Atlassian, Box.net, Connectbeam and Remy Corporation.
