The Team
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.

Being social online has never been easier - or more necessary - than it is in today’s age of the ubiquitous mobile phone. Combining the two emerging fields, Social Mobile takes the best elements from social networking and mobile apps to connect users locally through innovative API and geolocation technology.
From Foursquare to Skype, Social Mobile websites and apps are changing the way we interact, learn and well, socialize.
Webby Connect will explore the latest in social mobile, delve into the challenges of developing social mobile platforms, and touch on how developers and advertisers alike are experimenting (and capitalizing) off this innovative technology.
If you have a mobile phone in you possession at this very moment (which, we’re willing to bet our weight in Scramble With Friends coins, you do), then you’ve probably come across the intersection dubbed “SoLoMoCo” (aka Social, Local, Mobile, and Commerce).
But what exactly is SoLoMoCo, you say? Wonder no more as our friends at Vitamin T get the scoop from Allen & Gerritsen’s Schneider Mike in the clip above.
We’re excited to introduce Webby Connect presented by Vitamin T, our newest thought-leadership blog, chronicling today’s emerging Web trends, with a focus on:
- Social mobile
- Tech side-projects
- Social good startups
