# International Web 2.0 Events

The UK has its own Web 2.0 Conference on 11 November in Brighton, in the form of [d.Construct](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315001019/http://www.clearleft.com/services/training/dconstruct.php):

> “d.Construct 2005 is the UKs first grassroots Web 2.0 conference. It is an affordable, one-day event aimed at those building the latest generation of web-based applications. The event will discuss how new technology is transforming the web from a document delivery system to an application platform. Internationally renowned speakers will discuss hot-topics such as Ajax, using the power of APIs and the future of the mobile web.”

Apparently tickets sold out within 30 minutes of registration! It’s an interesting line-up, including representatives from Flickr, BBC Backstage, and [Cory Doctorow](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315001019/http://boingboing.net/) discussing The Remix Economy. Apparently there will be podcasts of the sessions. (hat-tip [Josh Porter](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315001019/http://www.bokardo.com/))

Also, over in Canada [Raincity Studios](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315001019/http://www.raincitystudios.com/) is running a workshop series on blogging and social networking – with the intriguing title [Blogs n Dogs](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315001019/http://www.blogsndogs.com/). It’s being held at the Banff Centre, Alberta, Canada from December 4th to the 8th 2005. (thanks [Will Pate](https://web.archive.org/web/20060315001019/http://www.willpate.org/blogs-n-dogs) for the tip)
