The last Future of Web Apps was one of the best conferences of the year — great speakers and great attendees. This year Ryan and the crew over at Carson Systems have committed to super sizing the event. The speakers are huge. The attendees are awesome. And they’ve brought in CrowdVine, Pathable, and icalico to make sure the social aspects are top notch.

Check it out: fowa.crowdvine.com

CrowdVine provides the social network so people can connect before and after the event. Pathable is providing their social matching analysis and badges, and a text-messaging coordination service. And icalico is providing a social session calendaring feature so that you can mark the sessions that are interesting to you and see which sessions are popular within your network.

It’s based the work we did for Foo Camp. We added much better design customization. The contact model is new. Rather than marking contacts as friends (what does that mean in a conference setting?) you can mark fan or want-to-meet. You can finally control email notifications. The Pathable and icalico integrations are tighter. We’ve got OpenID. Basically, we’ve made boatloads of improvements.

It’s not too late to get passes if you can get to London October 3rd-5th.

Thanks to the FOWA staff for choosing us (and to Scott Berkun who put us on their radar).
