We have been trying various new tradeshow ideas. 2008 is no different. We just launched the Web site for our inaugural Linked Data Planet conference and expo.

We are excited about this area which many have called either the Semantic Web or the Smarter Web. We think that those in know believe that "Linked Data" is the best way to refer to the next generation of the Internet.

One advocate of the Linked Data concept is the founder of the World Wide Web - Tim-Berners Lee. We are very excited that Tim has agreed to keynote our first show in June in New York City.

I will have more to report on this show and other tradeshow initiatives in coming posts.
