The Web 2.0 Summit is the only place, once a year, where leaders of the Internet Economy gather to debate and determine business strategy. Join the leadership of this extraordinary industry this November 15-17 in San Francisco.

Fifteen years and two recessions into the commercial Internet, it’s clear that our industry has moved into a competitive phase—a “middlegame” in the battle to dominate the Internet Economy.

At this year’s Web 2.0 Summit, we’re focusing on these shifting points of control—strategic chokepoints on an increasingly crowded board. The decisions we make as an industry will determine the fundamental architecture of our society.

We’ll use the Summit’s program to feature companies who are changing strategy and moving into new fields of battle. We’ll map strategic inflection points and identify key players who are battling to control the services and infrastructure of a websquared world, including:

• Mobile and sensor platforms
• Distribution
• Social graph
• Identity services and payment systems
• Location services
• Data transport
• and Advertising

Web 2.0 Summit gathers the intelligence, innovation, and leadership of the Internet and media industries for a conversation that never fails to stimulate, push, and surprise. Only at Web 2.0 Summit will you find in one place:

• A conversation with – and new product announcement from – the CEO of GE
• A surprise visit from Google founder Sergey Brin
• Real-time search announcements from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Twitter
• Insights from Carly Fiorina, foursquare CEO Denis Crowley, Newscorp Digital CEO Jon Miller, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, Intel CEO Paul Otellini, and dozens more
• First ever insights on Comcast’s new web-based platform from CEO Brian Roberts
• And the reflections and musings of the Web’s patriarch, Sir Tim Berners-Lee
