First Web 2.0 Summit Auction Benefits Charity: Lance Armstrong to Participate in Live Auction

TechWeb (formerly CMP) and O’Reilly Media, co-producers of the annual Web 2.0 Summit, announce the Web Meets World Auction at Web 2.0 Summit on the evening of Wednesday, November 5, at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. The first Summit auction illustrates this year’s theme of applying what we’ve learned from the Web to help solve our world’s most pressing limits. Keynote speaker Lance Armstrong, the cancer survivor, seven-time Tour de France winner and founder of the Lance Armstrong Foundation who recently joined with Demand Media to launch LIVESTRONG.COM, will autograph a Trek road bike that will be auctioned off with other priceless items during Web 2.0 Summit’s Web Meets World Auction. All proceeds from the auction will benefit charity.
