April 15, 2007 Conferenceer for Web 2.0 Expo
I’ve just relaunched [Conferenceer][1] for the [Web 2.0 Expo][2] conference taking place in San Francisco over the next several days. Conferenceer is a social networking site for conferences, and on the site you can upload your profile, mark the sessions you plan to attend, and create relationships with other conference-goers. A special perq of the site is that it collects the blog feeds of all the participants so that you can easily subscribe to the blogs of your favorite panelists or–more ambitiously–subscribe to _all_ of the attendees blogs to get a feel for what _everyone’s_ posting during the conference.
On Conferenceer, you can subscribe to the panel calendar in iCal, download vCards of all the folks you meet, and mash up all of the info to your heart’s content due to the liberal use of [microformats][3] throughout the site.

I first originally created for the South by Southwest Interactive Conference in March, 2007. I wanted a way to keep track of the folks I met at the conference, and I especially wanted to be able to read the blogs of all the panelists. Conferenceer fulfils both of these desires pretty well.
So what are you waiting for? Why don’t you go [set up an account Conferenceer][1]? It’ll take you about 2 minutes to get running, and Conferenceer will even import your profile from [Flickr][5]!
