We're thrilled to reveal the first of this year's Webby Sessions taking place at Internet Week New York!
The Webby Sessions are a series of panels and discussions touching on the latest Internet trends and inspirations specially curated by us. Each day, we will bring you thought-provoking content and leaders representing the very best of the web.
The first Webby Session is taking place on Monday, May 20 at 11am and will feature the incredibly popular, engaging, uplifting, and Webby Winning photo blog Humans of New York.
Photographer Brandon Stanton will join Webby Executive Director, David-Michel Davies to discuss the Internet's ability to foster altruism and build supportive community along with sharing the meteoric rise of his blog over the past couple of years.
We look forward to sharing ideas from some of our most inspiring Webby winners, judges, and friends.

IADAS Happenings
In the year since The Huffington Post merged with AOL, IADAS Academy member Arianna Huffington has overseen the Huffington Post Media Group’s rapid international expansionand increased emphasis on local coverage and video. Upcoming international launches include El Huffington Post Spain in March, and L’Huffington Post Italia later this year.
With the aim of bringing everything that makes The Huffington Post special to video, the Webby-winning Huffington Post Media Group is launching the HuffPost Streaming Network, a 24/7 streaming network that uses the AOL/HuffPost universe — the stories, editors, reporters, bloggers, and community — as its real-time script.
We look forward to seeing all this come to life in the next months!
