Office 2.0, er, 2.0

The second Office 2.0 conference is coming soon (5-7 September) and I will be participating again.

One of the cool aspects of the conference is that all attendees will be receiving iPhones:

[from email]

Following last year's success of the inaugural Office 2.0 Conference, the organizers are expecting 500 to 750 attendees coming from over 20 countries. Each attendee will receive an Apple iPhone to be used during the conference, making it one of the largest experiments for mobile and real-time collaboration ever attempted. Using applications developed by Etelos exclusively for the event, participants will be able to wirelessly exchange contact information with attendees and exhibitors, schedule meetings with each other, and provide real-time feedback during sessions. The conference's facility will also provide a scalable WiFi network that will offer access to any online application, leveraging the full power of Apple's device.

Stowe, this sounds way way cool! I was wondering, is the info exchange by owners approval, or are you forced to hand over contact info just like that? Anyways , after the event, I am expecting a blow by blow detail from you, in your blog!
