Previously known as the Widgety Goodness Conference. WidgetWebExpo is the evolution of that where Ivan Pope decided to move it from the U.K to New York as a way to give it more impact and make it less British and i guess that sometimes that can be a good thing.
The WidgetWebExpo will be having place this June 16 and 17 in the New York Marriott
*No, neither me or Derek are going to be there because Ivan Pope didn’t` invited us. yeah i know, what a meanie right?. and yet you have me here supporting his event. i think that speaks volumes of me. but don`t worry karma will get Ivan some day, you will see*
