Like every Web Monday a happy crowd of Swiss and German Web entrepreneurs and afficionados met for drinks and exchange.

Christian Hirsig presented Atizo’s open innovation story, Fabienne Steiner gave some views behind WebnWine’s stealth curtain. Wuala was the perfect host and Dominik Grolimund took some great shots of the events. Have a look at all the happy faces here: http://wua.la/Wuala/Photos/2008-09-29+Webmonday

Yesterday the Swiss and the Southern German Web scene gathered at Cassiber’s Technopark office to have some beers and discuss two core topics: “How to launch in the US” and “How to make Zurich Europe’s Tech and Web cluster number one”!

Marc Bernegger from Amiando gave an impressive review on how Amiando made it into the exclusive Facebook Connect partnership as first European Company and Ted Shelton, Partner at The Conversation Group, gave an energizing speech on Zurich’s potential to become Europe‘s next Tech and Web cluster.

The plan is set for the upcoming Web Monday Zurich on 4 August! The topic is "launching in the US". We're happy to announce two very interesting speakers:

1) Ted Shelton from The Conversation Group in San Francisco has spent the past 20 years working in the high tech industry. Most recently Ted developed a new participatory media platform called The Personal Bee, which was acquired by Technorati in early 2007. Ted has been active in re-envisioning Technorati's product roadmap and business strategy and as a part of this effort created The Conversation Group as a key Technorati partner. http://www.theconversationgroup.com/

2) Marc P. Bernegger, co-founder and Head of Sales of amiando just returned from his Silicon Valley trip, where amiando 4.0 was launched last week. Marc will introduce amiando 4.0 and share his experience on amiando's US launch with us. http://www.amiando.com/

I'm very much looking forward to seeing you all again. Please register in the wiki (http://www.amazee.com/node/257/writeboard/view/500) if you haven't already.
The Web Monday will again be in Technopark Zurich. This time in Cassiber's Office (2nd floor, Office Zeppelin 2008). Drinks start from 6.30 p.m. and the presentations shortly after 7 p.m.
Thanks to the Cassiber crew for hosting the upcoming Web Monday!
