| 1. What  can I expect from the conference?The Web has had a glorious existence  of over two decades and has revolutionized the way we    work and live. It has been the catalyst for proliferating  information across boundaries, enabling          effective  communication and 24/7 service availability all leading to a digital,  information based       economy that we  have today.
