Business communicator Shel Holtz — oh, by the way, the twice-weekly For Immediate Release podcast he co-hosts with Neville Hobson reaches milestone episode 250 tomorrow — has already called 2007 the year of the widget.

Think Shel might be onto something?

Well, on Wednesday, July 11, WidgetCon 2007, a conference devoted entirely to widget marketing, will take place in New York City. With widgets already reaching a staggering 81 million Internet users in North America alone, according to a recent comScore study, there’s simply no way any good marketer shouldn’t be learning everything he or she can about how to market with widgets.

WidgetCon 2007 looks like the place to do just that.

The full-day event is by invite only, but you can request an invitation through the — yes, you guessed it — widget below.
