Het Open Web

Since its conception, approximately 20 years ago, the World Wide Web has drastically changed society and the way we communicate. The main contributor for success of the Web is its open character: everything can participate because of the use of Open Standards.

The Open Web is a mix of technologies and concepts. Open web technologies and protocols (HTTP, HTML, CSS, Javascript, ...) have carried the World Wide Web to success by implementing decentralization, transparency, extendibility, third party innovation, bidirectional communications and end-user usability and integration.

This conference is to celebrate 20 years of World Wide Web and focuses on new opportunities, challenges and threats.
