A significant slice of the Linked Data/Semantic Web community will be gathering next week in New York City for the first Linked Data Planet conference. The programme is packed full of talks from experts in the field, including keynotes from Tim Berners-Lee, Kingsley Idehen and our very own Ian Davis. As sponsors of the conference we have a small number of free passes to give away. The passes give access to the full conference (not just the exhibition hall and keynotes), but do not include travel, accommodation or meals etc – these will need to be covered by the recipients of the free passes. So, if you can make it to NYC next week and would like to have a chance of winning a free pass to this groundbreaking event, just email Paul Miller (firstname.surname at talis.com) with the words “Linked Data Planet passes” in the subject line. The free passes will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Good luck, and hope to see you in New York next week!
