YOUR TEAM

Oli Barrett, who had the idea for the Web Mission, got together with Polecat in 2007 to make it a reality.

Polecat is leading on delivering WebMission08 and aims to ensure that you are ready for an excellent experience in San Francisco. Any questions during the build up to WebMission08 should be directed to info@polecatting.com.

During the WebMission08 week itself, Oli Barrett will be your host and will ensure that all your on-the-ground networking needs are met.
 
Our Media partner is TechCrunchUK and this is the place to go to get the official line on news around WebMission08 week. Also in attendance will be members of the press and bloggers.
