In every sense, the FASTforward ’08 conference in Orlando in February was the biggest ever.

Expanding on the theme of FASTforward ’08, the FASTforward Summit examines how search-driven innovation is fueling The User Revolution, a critical shift that is placing the user increasingly at the center of the information universe. Search and search-related technologies will connect users with information, products, and services; and users with other users.

The FASTforward Summit agenda includes:

• KEYNOTE SESSIONS: Industry leaders discuss how search-driven innovation is impacting The User Revolution, driving information directly into the user’s hands.
• MULTIPLE TOPICS: Sessions focus on search within various topic-specific tracks e.g. Monetization, Innovation Based on Search, Search Technology. Specific sessions will vary by location.
• CASE STUDIES: Customers and Partners illustrate how they are using search-driven innovation today.
• DEMOS: FAST and Partners demonstrate the latest and greatest in search innovations and implementations, including Microsoft SharePoint/FAST ESP integration.
