Welcome to the online home of Duke University's Class of 2001! Are you scaling the summit, up on the latest of everything, expert in your field, gear in order? Or is it escaping from under you, like a gleeful child up to who-knows-what? Web98 solves it for you -- spend a week with us, and you'll have the lowdown on all the latest Trends, Techniques, and Tools & Technologies that power the web. Plug in, turn on, drop by. The Web design & development conference (Web98) offers the best Speakers, the best Classes, and the best Events and Exhibitions available anywhere in the physical world. The Web development/conference training courses will provide you with some of the key training/tools you need as a web professional. We're the physical-world nerve center of the web -- where you can learn more about Web design & development, grok the web, and get to know each other.

We cover it all because we respect your time and ours -- the web is getting down to business and you're busier than ever. This is good! Learn everything you need to know during the day, and celebrate how much you accomplished all night. We invite you to join us at the summit -- Register Online! Register early -- save $200 before May 1st.

Web98 breaks out of the box. We choose our speakers extremely carefully, we focus on serious, hardcore learning, and we keep the exhibit floor absolutely separate from the conference sessions. Who's on the Board? Flash draws eyes, but substance keeps them. Now you see why that matters. Conferences are built around inspiration and learning -- two things that are not easy to measure. Crutches like lead counts and class handouts tell part of the story, but the real story is in the inspiration you take away with you when the lights go down.

Why not just get all this info on the web itself? We know you could. We also know that humans are social beings, and we learn better when we can watch each other and talk about it. Wired's Webmonkey chose that name for some very enlightened reasons. The most compelling sites on the web are personal -- look at Justin Hall, Doug Block , Marc Rettig, ICQ, PlanetAll -- you get the idea. The web is only the beginning, the networked desktop is a very social place, and meatspace gatherings are the linchpin that holds it all together. Ask the Noend and WWACgroups and they'll tell you -- we're made of meat, and meat needs meat. Or something along those lines. Come to the summit. We'll be waiting for you.
