An note to those attending the Web 2.0 Expo in NYC.
I was struck last night at the TechSet networking event at how much I was out of my normal element. The experience made me realize that nearly no one at this conference knows who I am. So why would anyone come to my session?
With that in mind, I want to give you the top ten reasons to attend my talk about Going Fast on the Mobile Web:
- 24,000 People Can’t Be Wrong
Over 24,000 people have viewed or downloaded the slides from the earlier version of my presentation from SlideShare.
- Featured on O’Reilly Radar, Ajaxian, and Fast Company
Previous favorable coverage from O’Reily Radar, Ajaxian, and Fast Company.
- Few Bullets. Lots of Images. And a Story to Tell.
I hate boring presentations where the presenter reads off the slide. I can read that myself thank you very much.
- High-level View of the Mobile Landscape
The mobile opportunity is huge, but most people, particularly Americans, are unaware of what the upcoming mobile wave. You’ll get high-level picture with data to convince your clients, coworkers or management that mobile is something your organization needs to focus on.
- But with Details that You Can Act On
I’m also a developer so for those who want details and code that you can act on, there will be plenty of examples that you can implement.
- Hot Topics: iPhone and the App Store
We’ll talk about the iPhone, the Mobile Web, App Store sales and how what they mean for businesses and web developers.
- You Will Be Asked About This in the Next Year
No matter what business you run, you will be asked to start thinking about your mobile strategy some time in the next year if you haven’t been already. It is the next big thing, and you need to start thinking about how you’re going to prepare for it.
- Even Web Developers Who Aren’t Doing Mobile Will Learn Something
A lot of the information in the presentation is information on how to build faster web sites that many web developers are not aware of. Even if you never build a mobile site, these are things you can incorporate into your current web sites.
- Research and Data Unavailable Anywhere Else
I’ll be presenting the latest data from the mobile browser concurrency test that my company, Cloud Four, developed. This data isn’t available anywhere else. (Nevermind that it isn’t available elsewhere because we’ve been too busy to publish it. :-)
- Guarantee that You Will Learn Something New
And if you don’t, track me down at tomorrow’s party, and I’ll buy you a drink. :-)

So there you have it. Ten great reasons to attend my session. The session details are:
I also want to assure people that even though it is in the performance and scaling track that it has a wider appeal than just people who specialize in those topics.
I hope to see you tomorrow.
