Just a quick note to say we hope to see you at one of two key industry conferences this spring.  Here's what we're up to in May and June:

1.) The Web 3.0 conference takes place in New York City at the New Yorker Hotel on May 19 & 20, 2009.

We will be offering a media industry and publisher-centric presentation on day one of the show.  We look forward to catching up with everyone on the east coast, and hearing about the semantic and Linked Data projects folks have been working on over the past year.

As the Web 3.0 conference producers note, the time is ripe for innovation:  "In turbulent economic times, it is critically important to understand what opportunities exist to make our businesses run better."

We'll look to offer some hands-on ideas for how OpenCalais can help you do just that.

2.) The 5th Annual Semantic Technology Conference - aka "SemTech 2009" - takes place at the Fairmont Hotel in downtown San Jose, June 14 -18, 2009.

We will help to kick-off this conference by sharing key insights, inspirations and ideas - as well as areas that demand greater innovation & collaboration - gleaned during OpenCalais' first year out. 

We'll also offer our first ever 'OpenCalais user track' at SemTech, which will start on Tuesday, June 16th at 2 p.m.  Here is the line-up as it stands today; the final version will be appearing on the SemTech site soon.

Let us know if you plan to be at either show - we'd love to meet face-to-face.
