Look out, Fashion Week and Restaurant Week, there’s a new week on the block! This summer, the City of New York will celebrate its thriving internet community by introducing the week-long festival New York Internet Week from June 3 – 10. The event is presented by the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the The Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting. Just like web itself, Internet Week will be open for anyone to attend events and throw events without a fee. (They will also be spread out all over.) Conferences and seminars that are scheduled so far will feature topics such as applied cryptography and network security, marketing and videos for online magazines. The schedule is also sprinkled with high-profile parties like the official launch festivities on June 3rd, the 12th annual Webby awards gala on June 12 and a host of smaller networking events. Unlike the internet, the first two aforementioned bashes are not open to the public, but perhaps that just makes it all the more fun to hack your way in.
