eBay Developers Conference 2006

Posted June 9, 2006

Looks like I’ll be attending the eBay Developers Conference this year and sticking around for eBay Live!

I’m excited to broaden my knowledge of the eBay suite of APIs and learning more of how all the relatively recent acquisitions will be working together. With the acquisitions of PayPal and Shopping.com, eBay landed itself at the heart of e-commerce. Additionally, by acquiring Skype, eBay has continued to grow its vision for the future of e-commerce. With APIs for all of these platforms, eBay opens up the doors for creativity among their established developer community.

Here are some of the sessions I am most interested in attending:

  • 217: Leveraging Shopping.com to Create New Revenue Streams
  • 111: Growing Your E-Commerce Business
  • 219: Web 2.0: Tools For Creating a Community
  • 214: Talking to eBay Using AJAX
  • 102: Vertical Opportunities and Driving Innovation with eBay
  • 115: Lessons from the The Long Tail™ and What It Means For You (Presented by Chris Anderson, who else)
  • 304: Building Voice Applications Using Voice XML

Full descriptions of these sessions and more information can be seen at http://www.ebaydevcon.com/

I’ll hopefully be blogging live from Vegas shortly!

    If you’re in Vegas you better have much better things to do than be blogging! ;P

    I’d like to hear your take on the con and the sessions you attend though. Some of them sound quite interesting, especially the community-building and the Voice XML sounds intriguing.

    I’m already snickering at the Longtail ™ thing, so let me know how that goes if you make it.
