Course Details: Web 2.0 Bootcamp

Upgrade Your Business to Web 2.0

“Whether you’re a Fortune 500 company or an Internet startup, using Web 2.0 techniques to surpass your competitors in establishing market leadership will be essential for success while reaching out to the 1.1 billion potential customers online.” – Dion Hinchcliffe

If you’re building and delivering next-generation online products and services, this intensive, day-long course will provide you with a thorough grounding in the revolutionary world of Web 2.0—a set of design patterns and business models that are reshaping the face of the Web. Web 2.0 defines a new set of rules for optimizing online businesses by leveraging intrinsic strengths of the World Wide Web that have only recently been fully understood.

Web 2.0 Bootcamp leads you through a deep exploration of the latest ideas, business models, trends, and techniques behind Web 2.0 with a special emphasis on proven, actionable methods for creating new online products and services – or transforming existing ones – using a Web 2.0 model.

Throughout the course, we’ll identify step-by-step strategies for using Web 2.0 techniques to identify, capture, and maintain sustainable competitive advantage in specific market sectors and industries.

Topics include the 7 major patterns of Web 2.0 applications, the structure and business models of Web 2.0, and how Web 2.0 concepts are applied directly to the design and development of online products and services. Web 2.0 Bootcamp focuses on how the audience and customer bases of Web 2.0 sites grow exponentially when compared to traditional sites by leveraging network effects and the resulting user participation. A careful examination of the successful business models of Web 2.0 is also part of Web 2.0 Bootcamp. Business model coverage includes The Long Tail, crowdsourcing, Data as the Next “Intel Inside”, community ecosystems, and other proven ways of using strategic Web 2.0 approaches for commercial success, market leadership, and competitive dislocation. Future trends and a careful look at what’s about to happen next on the Web wrap up the course.

The rapid pace and exciting course materials of Web 2.0 Bootcamp combine with the application of Web 2.0 techniques in individual and team settings to make this an experience unlike any business strategy or Web course you’ve ever attended.

Who Should Attend

Web 2.0 Bootcamp packs in the crowds at Web 2.0 Expo!

Dion Hinchcliffe presented a special half-day version of our Web 2.0 Bootcamp at the recent Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco. Just about every chair was filled in a room that seated about 600 people. At least another hundred were sitting along the walls and in the aisles, and there was a even crowd outside looking into the room. There was a palpable buzz during the whole event, and everyone stayed until the very last minute. At the conclusion, two or three dozen people rushed Dion at the stage to thank him and ask follow-up questions.

The material presented in this session was clearly of incredible value to the Expo attendees – yet it represented just a subset of what you’ll experience in one of our regular Web 2.0 Bootcamp sessions. The crowd of over 10,000 people attending the Web 2.0 Expo shows that we’re now moving beyond the lessons of the Web 1.0 era. Our Web 2.0 University events are the best way to jump ahead of your competition by leveraging the new rules for doing business online – and they’re coming soon to a city near you. So don’t delay—register now!

Here’s just one comment we received: “Amongst the workshops I attended yours was, by far, the best one as it was a very good wrap-up of what’s going on in the Web “nouveau” in ‘07.”

- Erik-Marie Bion

(3rd largest interactive marketing firm in Europe)

And here’s more praise from Kevin Farnham, one of AOL’s official bloggers, who concluded that the session was a “highly-educational, well-spent three hours”. Why not attend one of our full-day sessions and see for yourself?
