It’s that time again: North America’s Web event of the year. Internet Week New York 2011 kicks off in New York today, June 6, with all the bells and whistles (or pings and bleeps, if you prefer).

As a presenting sponsor of Internet Week, Yahoo! will of course be there. In fact, it will be hard to miss us. Look for us right at the get-go, as Yahoo! takes over a huge multimedia space at IWNY 2011 HQ on Monday, June 6. This immersive experience will take you deep into the Yahooverse with interactive, themed zones highlighting our leading content properties, like Yahoo! Finance, Entertainment, News and Sports. We’ll even have a studio set up for live webcasts with Yahoo! celebs like Breakout’s Matt Nesto and Jeff Macke, Trending Now’s Adrian Diaz, omg NOW’s Kristen Aldridge, and Angela Sun of the Yahoo! Sports Minute.  And for insider access to all things at Internet Week New York 2011, check out The Scene--including schedules, sessions, the players, photos, tweets and more.

For the second straight year, Yahoo!’s PROVOKE Summit will bring together advertising industry decision-makers, tech enthusiasts and creatives in one unique conference designed to “PROVOKE” discussion and ideas. Hosted by Yahoo!’s dynamic Bobby Figueroa, this event is sure to spark your creativity, plus Yahoo!’s Lauren Weinberg will provide fresh insight into the world of digital advertising based on Yahoo!’s own extensive research.  Get more on the Yahoo! PROVOKE Summit here.

We’ll also have several surprises that we don’t want to spoil for you, so be on the lookout for the Big Y! in and around Times Square and beyond.
