We've opened registration for the 2008 NetSquared Conference (N2Y3). The Conference will be held at Cisco Systems' Vineyard Conference Center in San Jose, California on May 27 and 28 (just after Memorial Day). Cisco Systems has been our generous host for the previous two NetSquared Conferences.

*A note to nonprofits: If you are an organization that wants to learn how to use social web tools for your work, an event like the Social Media Training for the Social Change Sector June 22-24 in Toronto, or Managing Nonprofit Technology Projects May 20-21 in Oakland, CA would better suit your needs.
