What is Data 2.0?

More business, social, and government data is accessible now than ever before. The US government and city governments are opening up data on platforms like Socrata, businesses are monetizing data on marketplaces like InfoChimps, and social networks like Facebook are enabling startups to integrate their social data.

This new access to data has spurred an avalanche of innovation in the Data 2.0 space. The Data 2.0 Conference showcases over 30 Data 2.0 startups and applications that help you find, analyze, and distribute information online.

Themes of Data 2.0

  • Accessibility The relevant underlying data is accessible via open API or a paid license
  • Standardization Owners of the underlying data integrate a shared schema or taxonomy, or a 3rd party aggregates the source data using a data standard
  • Adaptability Web 2.0 let people connect in new ways. Data 2.0 lets websites talk to each other and exchange data using new adaptive protocols

Who should attend?

  • CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, CFOs: What does the new data economy mean for my company's bottom-line?
  • Entrepreneurs: How do I leverage 3rd party data from SimpleGeo, Factual, or DataMarket to power my application? Which database technologies will let me scale, and how should I develop an API to connect to the data economy?
  • Advertisers: How do I better leverage demographic data, customer intelligence, ecommerce targeting data, and real-time analytics to put the right ad, product, or message in front of the right customer?
  • Programmers: Which social networks and business applications have released APIs that I can develop with? Which database technologies and applications are attractive to hiring managers seeking programmers?
