The International World Wide Web Conferences Steering Committee (IW3C2), Universidad Politecnica de Madrid and Madrid municipality cordially invite you to participate in the 18th International World Wide Web Conference to be held in Madrid, the charming and cosmopolitan capital of Spain.

The World Wide Web Conference is the global event that brings together key researchers, innovators, decision-makers, technologists, businesses, and standards bodies working to shape the Web. Organized by IW3C2 since 1994, the conference series is the premier venue for academics and industry to present, demonstrate, and discuss the latest ideas about the Web, its infrastructure, relevant algorithms and new innovative applications. It is most of all an annual opportunity for the international community to discuss and debate the state and the evolution of the Web.

The technical program for the five-day conference will include refereed paper presentations, plenary sessions, panels, and poster sessions. The WWW2009 program will also include Tutorials and Workshops, a "WWW in Ibero-America" track, a W3C track, a Developers track, and Exhibitions.
