RSS Roundtable Dinner New York (May 16th)

May 8, 2006

Continuing our conversation from the success we had at the RSS Roundtable Dinner in San Francisco during Ad:Tech, we will be meeting in New York May 16th during the Syndicate Conference. We had over 40 people attend the last Roundtable. Because it was during Ad:Tech it was a bit more focused on the marketing/advertising aspect of RSS. The New York Dinner will slant toward the technology side of RSS.

We are happy to announce that SilverPop is a new co-host. They are joining a line-up of great thought leaders who are supporting the RSS Roundtable in including iUpload, PRWeb and Pheedo.

The intent of this meeting is to discuss a number of key issues facing our industry and it's chances for continued success. This meeting will also serve as a vehicle for our key industry partners to discuss mutual challenges and viable solutions, as well as come to a mutual understanding of goals and objectives that we all have for RSS. Lastly, we will have an opportunity to collaborate, as leaders in the industry, on how we can increase the rate of RSS adoption among information consumers. Attendees will also be encouraged to share their stories.

Where: New York City, 5 blocks from The Roosevelt Hotel (location of Sydnicate Show). Event location details will be sent to interested parties.
Time: 7:30PM - 10:30PM
Date: May 16 (first day of Syndicate Show)
Cost: Free dinner, beer/wine sponsored by iUpload, PRWeb, Silverpop & Pheedo
