The highly-anticipated program for the Semantic Technology and Business Conference (#SemTechBiz), June 2-5, 2013 in San Francisco has been announced. The conference returns to the Hilton Union Square for four comprehensive days of fresh insight and immersive learning from global experts. #SemTechBiz brings together today’s industry thought leaders and practitioners to explore the challenges and opportunities  impacting both corporate business leaders and technologists.

When asked about the program, Conference Co-Chair Eric Franzon said, “When we launched this conference in 2005, the discussion focused around a question: ‘We have this marvelous set of technologies. How can we use them practically?’ Today, we are in a very different place. With impressive case studies demonstrating cost savings, new revenues, and practical implementations, Semantic Technologies have become an important thing for technologists, executives, marketing experts, data professionals, investors, and other stakeholders to pay very close attention to.”

“In June, we will learn from the experience of those who have leveraged Semantic Technologies to make money, save money, gain more value from existing business assets, shorten development times, and solve very real problems. We will hear about how Semantic Technologies are being used to glean insight from ‘Big Data.’ ”

We are pleased to announce the preliminary program for SemTechBiz – Berlin, the latest in our growing series of regional Semantic Technology and Business Conferences. The conference will take place on 6-7 February, 2012 and like the recent regional events in London and Washington DC, this event is designed to be smaller and more focused than the large, annual SemTechBiz – San Francisco Conference. The Berlin program boasts two days of sessions aimed at showing how Semantic Technologies are being used today to help companies make money, save money, and solve business problems. There are sessions aimed at both technical and non-technical attendees.

In coming weeks, we will feature some of the presenters and companies here at SemanticWeb.com. In the meantime, the full program can be viewed here.  (Please note: there are some gaps in the program while we confirm the last few speakers.)
