ABOUT
The Web Conference (formerly known as WWW conference) is a yearly international conference on the topic of the World Wide Web
The conference began in 1994 at CERN and is organized each year by a local team of volunteers in different parts of the world who come together to organize the conference in collaboration with the International World Wide Web Conferences Steering Committee (IW3C2). The Conference aims to provide the world with a premier forum for discussion and debate about the evolution of the Web, the standardization of its associated technologies, and the impact of those technologies on society and culture. The conference brings together researchers, policy makers, developers, users and commercial ventures — indeed all those who are passionate about the Web and what it has to offer.
30th The Web Conference should take place in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia within April 12-23, 2021. With all circumstances of the current health constraints worldwide, the Conference will be organized as a virtual only, fully supported as an advanced experience of a virtual one.
Ljubljana
