# Upcoming Web Conferences

It’s conference season for the Web and below are some upcoming events that may interest you:

**Defrag** – 1 free ticket available to R/WW reader; discounts too

[Defrag](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://www.defragcon.com/) has been sponsoring our Weekly Wrapups for the last few weeks; and we are a Media Sponsor for the event. The focus of Defrag is ‘The Implicit Web’, a topic we’ve explored a lot on R/WW – see for example [The Attention Economy: An Overview](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/attention_economy_overview.php).

Defrag is a two-day event being held in Denver, Colorado, from November 5 – 6, 2007. To register with **a $100 discount**, [click here](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://www.defragcon.com/DEFRAG_Reg.htm).

Also Read/WriteWeb has **one free ticket** to give away. To enter, simply leave a comment on this post giving us a **1-sentence definition of The Implicit Web**. The best definition, as chosen by myself, will receive a free ticket to the event – valued at $1,495. (Note: if you purchase a ticket using the discount link above, that will be refunded if you win the free ticket)

**New New Internet**

On Thursday, November 1, 2007, ExecutiveBiz will be presenting the [The New New Internet: Web 2.0 for Business](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://tnni07.com/) conference in Reston, Virginia.

**NewTeeVee Live**

Our friends from the GigaOm Network are presenting a one day event called [NewTeeVee Live](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://live.newteevee.com/), to be held in San Francisco on 14th of November. The event will showcase the online video industry. [NewTeeVee](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://newteevee.com/) is a similar blog to [last100](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://last100.com/) (a Read/WriteWeb Network blog), so we will be closely following the action.

Note: if anyone would like to provide some live coverage of NewTeeVee Live for last100, please [contact us](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/mailto:readwriteweb@gmail.com). We may be able to get you a free press pass to the event.

**TechCrunch Boston Meetup**

Our friends at TechCrunch have another meetup happening, this time [in Boston on November 16, 2007](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://www.techcrunch.com/2007/10/18/techcrunch-goes-to-boston-join-us-for-meetup-11/). Our own Josh Catone will be there, schmoozing on Read/WriteWeb’s behalf. Look for a tall skinny guy with a beard!

**Widgety Goodness**

British startup Snipperoo is holding [a conference about widgets](https://web.archive.org/web/20090628091451/http://widgetygoodness.com/) on December 6, 2007, at Brighton.
