April 15 through 18 is the Web 2.0 Expo at Moscone Center West, in SF. There are a whole host of expensive learning sessions and workshops, but I just registered for an expo pass today. The normal prices is $100, but if you visit web2expo.com/registration and try using the discount code WEBEX07ECON before the 12th you might just find you can save a hundred bucks on any package! 
An expo pass gets you unlimited access to the keynote presentations, exhibit hall, and sponsored sessions (any of the Services & Platforms sessions).
Keynote speakers include Jeff Bezos (Founder & CEO, Amazon), Eric Schmidt (CEO, Google), Jeff Weiner (SVP, Yahoo), Bill Tancer from Hitwise, blogger Kathy Sierra (Creating Passionate Users), and more. The events main sponsors are Etelos, Adobe, AOL, Coghead, Cognizant, webex, Amazon Web Services, Ask.com, Cambrian House, curl, eBay, PayPal, fast, Google, Yahoo!, impetus, Intel capital, Nokia, Sun Microsystems, and many many more. All of these sponsors and more will be featured on the tradeshow floor.
One unique feature of the Web 2.0 Expo is Launch Pad–a venue for new internet startups to debut to the public. Flock, Zvents, Rollyo and Adify are notable alumni companies of the Launch Pad platform.
I’m not sure what’s involved yet, but it also sounds like the expo is working hard to make this a great networking venue for everyone in attendance–and it sounds like they expect a decent show of entrepreneurs and VCs. I know I’m having my name published in their networking book they will be presenting to attendees at the event!

I would be interested to hear what eBay has to offer with its new software. I heard that eBay 2.0 will change its feedback system entirely.
