We also gave away a ticket to [Defrag](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://www.defragcon.com/), which is on right now. The winner was Kevin Cawley, so hope he is having a good time 🙂 R/WW has a few people at Defrag – Sean, Alex and Charles Knight (of AltSearchEngines) are all there. The [Web 2.0 Expo](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://berlin.web2expo.com/) is on this week too, in Berlin – give us a shout if you’re attending, it’d be good to have some coverage of it on R/WW. We had some follow up messages about other events, so here is an update… The GigaOm Network is presenting a one day event called [NewTeeVee Live](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/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/20091107111351/http://newteevee.com/) is a similar blog to [last100](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://last100.com/) (a Read/WriteWeb Network blog), so we will be closely following the action. R/WW readers can get a discount on NewTeeVee live tickets by [clicking here](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://newteeveelive.eventbrite.com/?discount=RWW). Note: if anyone would like to provide some live coverage of NewTeeVee Live for last100, please [contact us](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/mailto:readwriteweb@gmail.com). We may be able to get you a free press pass to the event. **[Blog World Expo](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://www.blogworldexpo.com/), Nov 8 – 9 in Las Vegas** This is where the Weblog Awards 2007 will be announced — [VOTE FOR READ/WRITEWEB!](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://2007.weblogawards.org/polls/best-technology-blog-1.php) pleeease. Also our friend Allen Stern from [CenterNetworks](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://www.centernetworks.com/) will be present, apparently with a mini video camera attached to his head! **Widgety Goodness** British startup Snipperoo is holding [a conference about widgets](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://widgetygoodness.com/) on December 6, 2007, at Brighton. **We have 2 free tickets to give away!** To enter, simply leave a comment on this post, telling us what your all-time favorite widget is. Note the event is in the UK, so make sure you can attend if you enter. I’ll pick the 2 winners by end of this week. **[Intelligence at the Interface](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://tomgruber.org/news/2007-11-07.htm), Nov 7, Palo Alto** I really want someone to write up this event for us – so please yell out if you’re going and you’re up for doing a guest post on R/WW. Here’s a description from an email I received: “SRI is demoing CALO (cognitive agent that learns and organizes), a rare glimpse. It’s use is military-only, and will never see the public (Radar did work on this project in its early days). XEROC PARC is demoing a social context-aware, mobile app. (going live only in Japan to start), that works like a tour guide, and Yahoo Berkeley Labs is demoing an application that uses social, spatial, and temporal context to support and enhance key user tasks (runs only on a special Nokia phone). Really, really cool stuff, all Web3.0, and the location-aware stuff is especially cool — a lot like the ‘holy grail’ù of mobile networking that people keep talking about.” I’m sure there are many more web conferences happening, but I will be here all night… so if you have an event on that you want R/WW readers to know about, let us know in the comments. Or you can [enter it in our Events Board](https://web.archive.org/web/20091107111351/http://www.eventbee.com/networkeventlisting/networkevtlistauth.jsp?partnerid=5795), hosted by EventBee. You can list your event there for as little as $75. *Originally published on ReadWriteWeb ([archived copy](https://web.archive.org/web/20020204040018/http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/more_web_conferences_6oct07.php))*
