Carson Workshops Summit - a Carson Systems Company

The Future of Web Apps

Two-day conference focusing on the development technology you'll be using tomorrow

Book Signing with John Battelle

John Battelle will be our special guest at the Summit. He will be signing copies of his book The Search.

The Search is so much more than a potted history of Google. If you haven't read it yet then you should. It gives a real insight into online data and what users want from search. The book explores the theory of 'data as currency' and helps us understand how search data will form the basis of our future industry.

So if you own a copy bring it with you and have John sign it. If not, you will be able to buy a copy on the day.

See you there!
