Upcoming conferences focus on building for the Facebook Platform

Since the Facebook Platform launched just over three months ago, entrepreneurs and developers have been gathering at groks and developer garages all around North America (we covered AppDevCon and FacebookCampToronto last month). However, until now, many of the top Facebook developers and entrepreneurs haven't gathered in one place. So we're excited to announce two events coming in early October solely focused on building applications and companies on the Facebook Platform! Graphing Social Patterns: The Business & Technology of Facebook Graphing Social Patterns is a new conference devoted to building and distributing apps on the Facebook Platform, coming October 7-9 in San Jose, CA. The conference will be a great way for both business executives and developers to learn more about the Platform and will feature speakers from top application developers, ad networks, venture capitalists, and Facebook. So far, confirmed speakers include Dave Morin, Director of the Facebook Platform, Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Media, Charlene Li of Forrester Research, Susan Wu of Charles River Ventures, and executives and top application developers from SocialMedia, Slide, and RockYou, with more presenters confirmed daily. Day 1 (Sunday) will be a (business & technical) workshop day that concludes with the start of an "Appathon" hackathon, while Day 2 (Monday) will be devoted to business and marketing topics and Day 3 (Tuesday) will be focused on development and apps.
