I'm happy to announce that we have four interesting and varied keynote speakers lined up for the BlogTalk 2008 conference on social software in Cork this March.
- Nova Spivack - Founder and CEO, Radar Networks
Nova is the entrepreneur behind the Twine "knowledge networking" application, which allows users to share, organise, and find information with people they trust. He will talk about semantic social software for consumers. - Rashmi Sinha - Founder, Uzanto
Rashmi led the team that produced SlideShare, a popular presentation-sharing service that some have described as "YouTube for PowerPoint". She will talk about lessons learned from designing social software applications. - Salim Ismail - Head of Brickhouse, Yahoo!
Salim is a successful investor and entrepreneur, with expertise in a variety of early-stage startups and Web 2.0 companies including Confabb and PubSub. He will talk about entrepreneurship and social media. - Final speaker has been selected but has yet to be 100% confirmed.
You can see further details and longer biographies of the keynote speakers at 2008.blogtalk.net/invitedspeakers. We will also have two invited panel sessions, the details of which will be announced shortly.
