SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 07, 2008 — Exploring the state of the art in collaboration, mobility, and productivity, the Office 2.0 Conference 2008 will focus on large enterprise adoption of Office 2.0 tools. David Allen, productivity guru and author of Getting Things Done, will help kick off the third annual show, which will be held in San Francisco on September 3-5, 2008, at the St. Regis Hotel. To register for the show, please visit www.office20.com.

This year's enterprise adoption theme will be reflected by both conference sponsors and end-user presenters, which will include large enterprise customers sharing their success stories and use cases. Participants can expect to hear from over 50 speakers, including representatives from organizations such as General Electric. "The Office 2.0 space is maturing very fast, with continuing innovation on the vendor side and accelerating pace of adoption on the end-user side," said Ismael Ghalimi, organizer of the Office 2.0 Conference. "Companies like Google, Salesforce.com, Zoho, and others continue to push the envelope of SaaS and cloud-based technologies. Hardware vendors like Asus and HP are introducing a new breed of devices ideally suited to Office 2.0. And end-user organizations of all sizes are embracing this new way of computing."

Building on the successes and learning from the lessons of previous Office 2.0 Conferences, the 2008 show promises to introduce and explore new and innovative Office 2.0 technologies, including an array of sleek, high-tech gadgets that is the gathering's trademark. In addition, several product announcements are slated to be made at the conference. Other highlights of the Office 2.0 Conference 2008 include:

• The Unconference, the pre-show networking opportunity, will be held on September 3, with the conference itself held September 4-5.
• David Allen will join Ismael Ghalimi for a fireside chat on September 4 to kick off the conference. Several conference sessions will be dedicated to the use of Office 2.0 tools for supporting David's GTD methodology.
• An HP 2133 Mini-Note PC subnotebook, a high-end alternative to the wildly popular Asus Eee PC, will be given to each attendee. A conference trademark, the mobile device giveaway began with the first year's iPod nano and last year's iPhone.
