IA Summit 2008
This year I'm lucky enough to be attending the IA Summit 2008 in Miami, FL. I'll be using this blog to document the sessions I attend, as well as link to their presentations & podcasts. Right now I'm not finding the podcasts (and not all the presentations), so I'll fill in them in as they become available.
So far I'm very impressed... After the first day, I've really enjoyed most of the presentations. And on a side note, I have to say that I've been really impressed with the slides. This is the first conference that I haven't seen any standard PowerPoint templates... in fact, each presentation seems to have some crazy, customized slide set. I guess you should expect that from a conference like this.
One of the other impressive aspects is the use of Crowdvine as a conference social network app. It's nice to get the benefits of a social network using all your existing content sources (via RSS feeds), instead of requiring you to create all new content (while that is also possible).
Miami isn't bad either. I arrived a little early on Friday and was able to spend some time in South Beach. Got a little sunburnt, which I think is good timing... It's keeping me from wanting to spend more time in the sun.
On the downside, I'm having some problems with my laptop battery, so I'm mostly taking notes by hand (which sucks), so I won't be getting as descriptive as I'd like with the following posts.
