Conference
In 2008, along with some great folks, I started Open Web Asia Conference, dubbed as "The first truly pan-Asia web technology event." Our goal is to make the Open Web Asia as the "Le Web of Asia", i.e. if there is only one web conference you should go in Asia, it would be Open Web Asia. We had a very successful event in Seoul, Korea in '08, and the second Open Web Asia was held in Malaysia in '10. Stay tuned for the upcoming Open Web Asia.
I also organized Geeks on a Plane in Seoul, held in May 29-30, 2010; also helped organize TEDx Seoul in November 2009.
