Technologists Looking to Broaden Skills Sign-Up for CMP's WEB2001 and Internet+Mobile Conference & ExpositionSpeakers Include Lawrence Lessig, Thomas Dolby Robertson, and Warren EllisPRNewswire This year's WEB2001 and Internet+Mobile Conference & Exposition brings together a diverse group of keynote speakers, from hard-core technologists to writers and musicians, to offer attendees a wider perspective on Web and mobile development. The keynote speakers include Lawrence Lessig (law), Thomas Dolby Robertson (music and technology), Grady Booch (programming), Warren Ellis (comic book creator) and Stewart Brand (writer and futurist). The conference addresses the growing need for Web and mobile professionals to be more productive and efficient, by encouraging them to think about technology from a multi-disciplinary perspective. Lawrence Lessig, professor of Law at Stanford Law School and author of "Code, and Other Laws of Cyberspace," will deliver a keynote titled "The Impact of Code Plus Law." This presentation will demonstrate how the law can often clash with technology, and even circumvent it. The keynote panel, "Innovations and Deadlines," will examine the creative process and explore how people develop ideas that change an industry. Speakers on the panel are Grady Booch, creator of UML, Warren Ellis, comic book creator known for DC comics' "Transmetropolitan," and Thomas Dolby Robertson, rock star and founder of Beatnik. Keynote presenter Stewart Brand, author of "How Buildings Learn" and "The Clock of the Long Now," will examine why all technology should be adaptable, functional and built to last. Bryan Mason, conference manager, stated: "By bringing together renowned speakers from a wide range of fields, we challenge our audience to think about their own work from a very different perspective. We offer Web and mobile professionals a technical education that not only extends their skillsets, but also inspires creativity and helps our attendees gain an edge on the competition."
