Web 2.0 Bootcamp (without the tech jargon)
Web Directions is running a number of workshops around the Web Directions South conference in September. Once of the workshops you may be interested for yourself and/or your colleagues and managers is the Web 2.0 Executive Bootcamp. This is not a day about technology or code, but rather a deep exploration of the latest ideas, best practices, and techniques behind Web 2.0.
As the recent LG Web Network conference demonstrated, many in Local Government are looking to make use of the latest technologies and principles of the web to better service their communities. But keeping abreast of these developments, and in particular, disseminating them toward decision makers in an organisation can be a real challenge.
If that sounds like a challenge facing you and your organisation, then perhaps the upcoming Web 2.0 Bootcamp, to be held in conjunction with this year's Web Directions South conference may help you address that.

Rather than looking at the technologies and their implementation, this workshop, delivered by renowned corporate trainer Jeff Kelly (already thousands around the world have taken the workshop) leads you through a deep exploration of the latest ideas, business models, trends, and techniques behind Web 2.0 with a special emphasis on proven, actionable methods for creating new online products and services – or transforming existing ones – using a Web 2.0 model.
Topics include the 7 major patterns of Web 2.0 applications, the structure and business models of Web 2.0, and how Web 2.0 concepts are applied directly to the design and development of online products and services.
