Tomorrow I will be attending a Web 2.0 Conference outside of DC but I’m wondering how 2.0 it’s going to be. I’m getting the feeling that the organizers don’t really get it. Why?

Strike 1.
The 1st communication I received on this event called it “The New, New Internet: A Web 2.0 Conference".

Doesn’t everyone know the O'Reilly has a trademark on “Web 2.0 Conference”. ;-)

Its now called “The New, New Internet: Web 2.0 for Business"

Strike 2.
Yesterday I received a note from them indicating that “The dress for this event is Business Attire.”… Good grief. I was planning on dressing up by wearing a collared shrit but I guess I’ll be wearing a suit. :-(

The final pitch?
The conference is loaded and they still have a chance to hit this one out of the park. I want this to succeed because I’m sick of all the great conferences being on the west coast.
