You may want to check out the official STC conference Web page at
http://www.stc-va.org/Conference/conference_frame.html. That should give you
a lot of ammunition as it has the program schedule.

At a rough gess I'd say that about 20% of the programs are Web related and
maybe another 20% have something to do with online topics. I don't think
you'll get more bang for your buck anywhere else.

Best
Keith
