Web 2.0 Summit 2008 – Enterprise Ireland Showcase
This week, the world's web glitterati will converge on San Francisco for the Web2.0 2008 Summit. Al Gore, Lance Armstrong and other prominent speakers will join internet news makers to examine how the webits technologies, values and culturemight be tapped to address the world’s most pressing limits and opportunities.
As a sponsor, Enterprise Ireland will represent the entrepreneurs behind Ireland's web2.0 ingenuity. The goal: stake out potential customers, partners and investors, and any one else that can influence success for Irish web2.0 players in the US market.
It's a hot event for Irish web entrepreneurs. Deals have taken root here and valuable connections have been made. That's why EI is taking a significant stake in this year's show. So, if you're planning to be there, we want to know. We want to get you connected. Contact EI's Hilary Keane [hilary.keane@enterprise-ireland.com, t) 650-329-1414 ext 104]

Drawing the Best and the Brightest
With a reputation for nurturing internet entrepreneurs, Ireland has long drawn companies like Yahoo, Google and many others who selected the country as a location for their international presence. Last month, Facebook followed suit by establishing its international HQ in Dublin. http://www.facebook.com/press/releases.php?p=59042
